Good tip, Fred.  I can do that! So no need to heat the whole mix at all? 
Stirring stick at the ready!

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.
