Default Bees Wax

Bees wax is popular with the woodworking group. Check out Woodcraft but be prepared for sticker shock....Also, the parafin wax they sell for canning works pretty good, too. You can get this stuff at any good grocery store that sells canning supplies. Failing all that, boiled lindseed oil can ge bought at Home Depot or Lowes. Heat your iron, wipe on the BLO with a cotton rag and let it smoke off. Works fine. Don't use BLO on cooking impliments, thats what wax is for.
