[Antir_scribes] Wax for Scrolls and Charters

[Ed and Terri Morrison]

The wax we use for making seals is called dopping or cabbing wax and is sold 
by places that deal with gem faceting.

I've been told that Kingdom has been purchasing their supply from Ed's House 
of Gems in Portland.

I've also been informed that The Principality of Avacal purchases their from 
Jeff Graham, www.faceters.com.

I personally have not worked with the wax yet, but as I understand it, the 
red and black waxes melt to the correct consistancy at different 
temperatures - and the information at www.faceters.com seems to concur with 
that.
