If you have any hobby shops around look for some UN scented candle wax.

You can buy 10lb blocks on Amaxon for $35 with free shipping.

Or it looks like Walmart sells it for $3.16 a lb which is cheaper yet.

Hobby lobby is where I get mine I think like 25 for 10 lbs. Wife gets coupons regularly so I use those too but you can order from them online
