I heard once about Hobby Lobby having 10# blocks for pretty cheap, but can't find it any more on there site. Can anyone guide me to a great source for large (bulk) quantities of pure Paraffin ,in block form, at a great price? Much appreciated! Joel

I get mine at a Chick hobby store, that has candle making supplies. Last batch I bought, I found several blocks that were broken, and went to the store manager and asked for a damaged item discount, and she knocked off 75%!!! ROTFLMAO

I have been using the hobby lobby flake candle wax unscented. It’s in 3 lb bags and works great for making waxed dirt at least for the small batches I make.


Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Used to buy the 10lb slabs at Hobby Lobby. With the 40% off coupon...it was about $15.

Went there last winter to get more. No more 40% off coupons and 10lb slab is $70.

I laughed and walked out.

Started back buying the $3.50 lb bricks from trapping suppliers... frown

Used to be able to get canning wax for $2-2.50 a pound.

Now it’s $8-9.

“Trapping wax” from a supply house is cheaper these days.

10lbs is 37.00 at HL.

Must have dropped in price in last 12 months.

Still, at $3.70/lb, I'd just as soon buy it from trapping supply dealers for $3.50/lb.

Just checked HL website. Can get 10lbs for $23...currently. Good price.
