I think a lot of people have had success using parafin wax - can buy it at the grocery store for canning - its usually melted and added to the top of the "can" to seal it prior to putting the lid on. (it floats on top I think)
I beleive it can be melted in a double boiler, though I haven't done it. I did some experiments waxing with a candle and a heat gun. Worked OK - but the coating wasn't even.
