Where do you buy your paraffin and beeswax for potting?

I found beeswax at Michael's, but they don't sell paraffin.

Anywhere that sells both?

I got mine paraffin from the local hardware store...it's for canning. I believe it's a Gulf product. Lew

Grocery store. While your were at Michael's did you pick some yarn?

Pickups wound with yarn usually sound VERY warm.

Sorry...couldn't resist.

Yup, the supermarket on the top shelf...just above the empty canning jars. Gulf wax is popular.

From what I understand, the inexpensive toilet-to-floor bowl sealing rings at any hardware store are beeswax. The wax is really soft.

Parafin wax can be found at grocery stores, yeah. I found my beeswax on line:

My wife made me a sweater that looks somewhat scatter wound. People also tell me that it is "LOUD".

Sorry again...following Zhangliqun here... ta-dum (final)
