brendan use chapstick/ lip balm. It is the best alternative to wax I have found. It's cheap. It's easy to get. Best of all it gives you beautiful pouty lips to kiss all the girls with.

I don't know if I said this already or not...

But you can get cheap wax in two places that come to mind.

1. Home Depot or any home supply store will have a "Plumbing" section where you can get some wax. Toilet rings usually have wax around them and you may be able to buy "plumbing wax."

2. Dental Wax. You can get it at Walmart or any pharmacy for cheap. It's the kind people use on their braces. You can actually get it from a Dentist or Orthodontist for usually...free.

Are you talking about "plumber's putty"? It is used to make a watertight seal around a faucet or drain. If so I have a big like 6 oz tub of it under the kitchen sink

You can make wax from "bee candle wax" (candle is made from wax from bees)

Try using Dental Brace Wax, available at any Rite-Aid or CVS Pharmacy, $2, lasts a life time. Comes in a nice, small, case that holds 4-5 sticks. I never leave home w/o it. Sorry if this was already answered in prior posts, I'm a newbie here. In any case, I have used everything else suggested and will stick to this stuff. Try the unscented, uncolored version, BTW.
