Being in the UK, I am wondering if paraffin would do a useful job. Have
you tried kerosene?

I assume you are referring to paraffin wax or candle wax.

I don't know how far around the world these various names go but the

We are both at fault. If we said paraffin wax and you said paraffin

After extensive searching, I found that the US translation was mineral oil..
