Experiment is feasible

Today, while researching for my STEM proposal, I found a website called "Hot Pepper Wax" http://www.hotpepperwax.com/Products/ that sells a wax-based pest spray containing capsaicin.

Good. This means that capsaicin can either bond with wax, or is solubale in it. My experiment involving candles is possible.

Lack of research materials!

Good news: My project idea of using capsaicin as a fuel additive is relatively new. I put in "capsaicin fuel" in JSTOR and zero results came up.
Bad news: How am I supposed to do research now?!
