Apparently it is (or was) used for canning, but also has a lot of other uses, such as lubricating sliding parts, waxing skis, and some decorative uses. I looked it up online when I got home and found that there is much more to do with paraffin wax than I'd realized, which made me wonder... Has anybody here used this or something like it? Do you have any recommendations for what to use it for, or to not use it for? I was thinking about making a couple emergency/camping firestarters. Here are a couple of the pages I've found with info/suggestions: https://lotsofeverything.wordpress.com/2008/08/11/more-on-gulf-wax/ http://www.survivopedia.com/survival-uses-of-paraffin-wax/# ___________________ Rachel, #6992 [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
