Just to help those who will not find this in the future. I have found beeswax cheap on Amazon. Beeswax is what people used before all the nifty inventions to condition thread. I keep mine in a sandwich baggie, with my needle threaders, to keep it clean. One piece will last me the rest of my life. Every so often, I remelt it so the edges do not chip off. I just pour the hot wax into a cupcake tin, with a liner, and when it cools I just peel off the paper and keep using it.
