Default Lubrication for cutting aluminum

@#@

I use a product called Do -All it has been around for ages works on all
metal cutting applications , drill bits reamers, saw blades etc. It is an
waxy compound you just smear onto cutting tools works wonders.

I own a 32' fishing boat.
The superstructure is 3/16th aluminum. I want to saw out the port
wheelhouse
wall as I convert the boat into a family cruiser.

I intend to use a carbide tipped blade made for aluminum on a 7 1/4"
skill
saw.

I'm wondering about lubrication. I've read parrafin wax would work. How
much
do they mean? The amount you'd rub on a snow ski or an 1/4" mound of the
stuff?

Does anyone think the skill saw idea is bad?
