Lanolin takes a good bit of stirring to mix it with the lacquer  
thinner, when it is at room temp. It is a wax which is semi-solid  
(pasty) at room temp, but has a very low melting point. If you melt it  
first, it stirs into the thinner instantly. A hot water bath: water  
heated in a mug (microwave), a couple heaping teaspoons of lanolin in  
a film canister or similar sized container, hold the container in the  
hot water and stir until liquid (a minute, maybe). Pour into the  
lacquer thinner, stirring.
