Hardening Beeswax with carnauba wax

[Paul Barrett]

I have always made my own beeswax paste. I have some projects coming up which call for a slightly harder finish and so some carnauba wax is called for I think. But where do you get it? Most of the links I have seeen on Google are for ready made pastes or for car finishes.

Would welcome any suggestions

Pretty sure that Craft Supplies in Derbyshire stock it. Simbles in Watford certainlty used to sell it, though I can't find it on their web site. I'd also try anywhere that does turning supplies.

Yes - Craft Supplies do stock it. £5.45 for the product and £5.00 for postage. Whoa! :shock:

Product prices look OK - just asked them to quote me a combined postage price....
