Your Local Grocery Store ...in the Canning Dept.

One of the major brands is "Gulf Wax", made by Gulf Oil

I could not fing any at the local grocery store and had to go to a craft store such as micheals last time I bought any.

Just to confirm the other's suggestions.

I just bought some last week at our local grocer next to canning items. Gulf Wax was the brand and it was something like $3-$4

Not all grocery stores have a canning department, unfortunately.

I would suggest an art store where they sell things to make candles. Michaels is ok but see if you can find a "real" art store where it might be cheaper. Craft stores are generally more expensive than "art" stores. Try some online places like blick

I bought a HUGE block of it years ago at one of the hobby stores to make candles for my mom. Something like 12x18x2 inches. HUGE. I don't think the price was too crazy. Probably way more than you need though. Could you just buy a few plain, unscented, not-colored candles from the dollar store?

Thanks all

As well as for canning, paraffin is also used to make dipping chocolate. I remember that from way-back-when before dipping chocolate caps were readily available. So places that supply candy people might have it.

But most likely you need a larger grocery store or one oriented to a more old-fashioned clientele.

I buy mine when I work up enough nerve to brave Wal-Mart and the brand I have found there is Gulf Wax.

Some of the hardware stores that have canning supplies also have it. I got mine at Ace.
