If any of you turners out there who use paraffin wax to seal the ends of lumps of green timber and have trouble sourcing p.w., might I suggest you look for a candle maker.
I had all sorts of trouble finding it a while back and eventually bought some, at great expence, from a wood turner's supply outlet.
In my recent perambulations I visited the candle factory at Nimbin (NSW)
and as well as being made welcome by the proprietors, had a tour of the place and left with a bag of free scrap p.w. I might add that my wife gave our credit card a workout while we were there.
