Bill Powell asked what is a good price for wax for dipping.

Last I ordered:
Paraffin Wax                 SP 173      @      $3.75 kg  /  $1.70 lbs
Microcrystalline Wax   SP 16W     @      $7.55 kg  /  $3.43 lbs

Professional advice was that paraffin alone does not provide adequate
protection, it cracks with freeze/thaw cycles and after time water will
leak to the wooden ware.  Recommended was a 50:50 mixture of paraffin and
microcrystalline wax.  The 50:50 blend supposedly produces a more elastic
coating for the wooden ware.  This was all beyond my pay grade, but I
followed the 50:50 advice.

$.75 a pound, is less that half what I paid for paraffin, and less than a
quarter of what I paid for microcrystalline wax.  But will the product you
are buying provide the protection you want?

Any sage advice out there?
