There are alot of differant types of candle wax . Ive used blocks of unscented regular white candle wax for waxing traps for 30 yrs . I get my wax in 10# blocks from a hobby shop....I use my wax for canines also but only for first two years and then that batch of wax is used for water traps ectera. Hope this helps you some if not fire away with more questions... Welcome to the forum...
