Hello Neville, Really tough to hear about your fishing waters. Hope you have a snowy winter.
Liquid wax or liquid paraffin can be found in those clear plastic containers with a wick on top. I get mine in packs of six at a restaurant supply place. Restaurants use these to heat food warming trays, instead of the old votive candles. The clear liquid you can see inside is liquid paraffin. Let me know if you are unfamiliar with these. If that's the case, I will try to find a picture. Wes Wada Bend Oregon On Tuesday, July 21, 2015, Neville Gosling <nev.gosl...@shaw.ca> wrote: > Do we have any chemistry specialists on this list?
