Hardware or grocery store. I got some at the local Ace hardware today. Actually easier to find than I thought.

The easiest place to get beeswax is to go to a hardware store and ask for a wax ring for use in installing toilets. The ring is made of pure beeswax. They also make them out of other materials so make sure the package says beeswax.

A perfect lubricant for driving wood screws into new holes, especially in hardwood. Also good for lubricating hacksaw/jigsaw blades when cutting metal. Should be available from any company dealing in pattern makers' supplies.
