Ring around some apiarists from the yellow pages.

Last year I got a kilo bloc for $ 6.00 from the honey man at the Wantirna Trash & Treasure sunday market.

That's a good price Peter! The usual going rate ATM is around $10 per Kg.

Try Redpaths in Parkdale, near the railway station. They are always buying and selling wax. That's where I get my apiary supplies from.

If you don't mind me asking Bupton what's the beez wax for? As a finish it does tend to collect dust, maybe have a look at Ubeauts wax TRADITIONAL WAX

Was going to make some finishes and add a small amount of harder wax to make it less prone to gather dust.

Fair enough, happy concocting How do you mix waxes anyway?
