So I checked the Material Safety Data Sheet on Edge Kote and Dura Edge (I use Dura Edge) and they're basically acrylic paints that are water based. So on a chemical basis, there is your issue: water (the paint) and oil (the wax) don't mix. Once you get the wax on there and start burnishing and generating heat, the two will try to combine and fail. I'm not entirely sure why you're trying to use wax and burnish AFTER you've used a product that was designed to be a finish. You can use Edge Kote on just clean cut edges or you can burnish with water before you apply Edge Kote, but once it's applied correctly, you should be finished with the edge, with no need to try and burnish or seal it after. But yeah, in short: you can't put wax and edge kote on the same edge, or they'll just come back off. But the good news is that you don't have to trash the Edge Kote you bought, just don't put wax on it haha.
