Check local yellow pages for foundry suppliers or sculptors ....... or
find out from them where to get it locally.
For a good selection of wax, sculpting to casting, call The Compleat
Sculptor in New York City 800 9-SCULPT

Georgies Ceramic & Clay in Portland, OR carries sculpting materials and
waxes. 800 999-2529

LASH ( Leslie Stewart ) in Portland, OR. A master moldmaker, Leslie also
carries a huge variety of waxes and tools. 503 251-6959

When you get the wax make sure it will burn out. There are some types that
use clay as a filler.......a huge mess if you try burning it out. Ask when
you buy it, or pull off a chunk and try melting it if you have it already.

There are a few types of sculpting wax, about $2.50 / lb up to $6.00 / lb.
Victory Amber should be fine for burn out models.
