Default Raised panels on the table saw

I did my first raised panels on the table saw today for some doors to a
cabinet I'm building for SWMBO's scrapbooking 'tools'. They came out
great, after I sanded for 30 minutes. I ended up with a burn mark or
two on almost all of the angled cuts.

I spent a lot of time aligning my TS blade so I'm pretty sure its lined
up right. I think the issue was just that so much of the blade was
exposed to the wood and the fact that it was tilted 14 degrees to the
left meant that the panel was resting, so to speak, on the blade as it
passed through.

Is there a wax or rub to put on the blade to slow down the burn? Or is
this just a thing you have to live with trying to use a TS for something
a raised panel bit in a big router should be doing?

Thanks.
