There is a place that sells it, can't find it right now, but you might look through this thread and find it. http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=26524
There's a lot of good information on that thread too.

I think the place you want is called Texas drone. A google seacrh should turn the website up for you./

I have purchased Carnauba Wax flakes (along with a lot of other stuff for lube) from:
Majestic Mountain Sage
Logan UT 84321
Phone: 435-755-0863
Excellent products, customer service, and shipping policies. I believe they have a web site.
That I could be wrong is an eventuality that has not escaped me. I just painted the pictures as I saw them. I do not know how to do anything else. (Saint Elmer, 1955)
In answer to your second question, it serves to polish and condition the bore more than as a lubricant... it hardens the mix somewhat, but seems to not be of much value in amounts about about 5-10%. I've added it at the rate of about 5% to my version of Emmert's lube that I use for both BP and smokeless as well as my own proprietary smokeless lube known as "Frog Guano" but that's another story.

Group buy for lanolin, Stearic acid, and Carnauba wax going on now. See the GB Section. Closes this week.
