I was going to mention the toilet wax but I thought that maybe I
misunderstood what I heard on the DVD. I seem to remember seeing that
the toilet wax in Canada is made from bees wax. Where do you get your
tallow from?

I can get it at my local engineering suppliers in 1 pound pots, I don't
know why they stock it, I will have to ask. I can also get it from a
jewelry supplier as they sell it to mix with pitch for raising and
repousse work. Probably other sources if I looked I just happen to know
those two off the top of my head.

Hey David, one quick question. What do you use for lubricant when
spinning?

Tallow, seems to work well for all the non ferrous stuff I have done so
far. The BB guys in the US keep mentioning toilet wax rings and oil. I
asked a guy I know that has been in the UK building trade about 30 years
and he gave me an odd look and said something about strange US people.
Seems we use rubber seals and have done for years.
