Where to buy wax for handplanes?

I just use paste wax. You can get it at any hardware store. It’s
very useful for woodworking. You wipe it on, let it dry for a couple
minutes, then buff off the excess with a soft cloth.

Cheap white candles, tealight and votives, are made of parafin. I
think carnauba blends are better for rubbing on planes though.

Thanks Loren, I wasn’t aware that votive candles have parraffin wax. If that’s the case then it’s definately the cheapest way to get some paraffin wax.

Parafin wax… look in the canning section of the grocery store.
