Plane Wax
#11
I have / had a bar of hard wax for lubing the sole during use. I dropped it on the floor and it shattered into a dozen or so pieces. Still usable wax I guess, but I want a new one.

But, I don't remember what kind of wax it was or where I purchased it from.
Looked at the LV site but could not find anything similar to what I had.
What am I looking for?
Or, what do you use and like?

Can't you melt the pieces in a double boiler and recast them into one piece again?

It sounds like Carnauba Wax here

Yes. Paraffin wax of any sort works fine. Get it in the canning section.

Yes, that looks like it.
Thank you.
I will try the local Shoprite for the suggested paraffin wax.
Thank folks!

If Shoprite doesn't have it, WalMart should.

Rings for setting toilets have a lot of beeswax in them. I keep one around for lube and to lube screws when making jigs, rough work and shop fixtures.

If your feeling sexy, try this . The guys on our team use it on their sticks and I always wondered how it would work on my planes.

With that said I'm still working on my block of pariffin wax that I started using a two years ago.
