I have a need to use wax as a caulk. Is there a caulking gun or tube or

That lists cartridges and also some bulk loading guns. Some idea of
your application would be good. I've used toilet ring wax (which isn't
beeswax anymore) to make wax bullets but I melted it in a mixture with
paraffin. It didn't seem like anything you coulld squeeze out of a
caulking gun.


So, I have now ordered the refillable tubes and a high thrust 26 to 1
Red Devil gun that I hope really is better than my conventional guns.
What I need now, is a bulk wax that is fairly soft... toilet ring is
what I would use if trowelling it in but that's not what I am shooting
for. Squeezeable is what I am hoping for.

True beeswax is pretty expensive but can be cut with turpentine. The
expense is why the toilet bowl rings are proprietary blends of petroleum
and/or vegetable waxes, possibly with other compounds. They're cheap
enough that you could experiment with solvents to see if you can get a
softer version.

There are squeezable waxes for furniture finishing but they're pricey
too. It all depends on how much you need for your project.
