Which stores carry butchers paste wax?

Question

Which stores carry butchers paste wax especially in the Bay Area. I won't have time to get it shipped as I'm moving.

Answer 1

It is NOT similar to surfboard wax!! Surfboard wax, like Doctor Zog's s*x Wax is a mixture of paraffin, beeswax and other ingredients which allow it to stay soft so you can rub it on your board for better grip under foot.

Butcher's Wax is a brand of paste wax, primarily carnauba wax, which, when dried, leaves a hard shiny coating of wax that is fantastic for many uses. This is an awesome product that should be in every DIY'er's arsenal. Butcher's Wax on your table saw table will help prevent surface rusting and it will make wood glide right over the surface. Butcher's wax on wooden drawers works wonderfully well to keep the drawers sliding smoothly. Butcher's Wax is nice as a protective coating over a varnished wood floor, or over a clear finished wood article that will get some handling.

You can find Butcher's Wax in any hardware store and in many grocery stores. It would be with floor polishes and cleaners. It is so useful and a 1lb. can lasts a long, long time.

The regular Butcher's Wax and the Bowling Alley wax by Butchers are really the same product, but the Bowling Alley wax is clear, and the regular Butcher's Wax can add a tiny bit of amber. Other than that, the products can be used interchangeably.

Answer 2

I think it's similar enuf to surfboard wax that you can get some of that in SF.
