Parrifin wax

[Poppys]

I am new here so hope this is the correct place for my question.
Where can I buy parrifin wax?
Prefer Brisbane area or other if they can send by mail.
Thanks
Poppys

G'day Poppys,
Supermarket should have it in the preserving section.
They use it to cover some jars of jam.

If it is just for sealing endgrain of wood I've found the cheapest way is to go into one of the cheap shops - we tend to call them $2 shops. They often have big square paraffin wax candles going very cheap.

These guys sell paraffin wax in bulk and by mailorder: Australian Wax Co, Speciality Waxes, Beauty Wax, Depilatory wax, Manicure and Pedicure wax, Tapered Dinner Candles, Classic Pillar Candles, Hand Made Moulded candles, Waxes/Raw Materials, Paraffin wax, Microcrystalline waxes, Flaked and Beaded waxes (http://www.australianwaxco.com.au/productrange.html)

And if you're doing any amount of sealing it's the cheapest way to go.

I'm wary of candle wax since a hardener is added to it. With wood some flexibility helps.

Thanks Ern,
That explains why on some woods it flakes off. On most it's ok.

Thanks to all for the help.

Bees wax is better for sealing. It's flexible and withstands a much greater temperature range.
