    Have you tried Armour All?  Works well with softer foundry waxes and
    clays.  Personal lubricants (KY, Astro Glide, etc.) work for some
    wax work (different brands have different characteristics) as does
    liquid soap.  Also just heating the tools in a cup of warm-to-hot
    water helps in some situations.  Just try some different things and
    see what you can come up with as some folks like this over that or
    use different things for different work situations.
