Note to Flamers:  This is the only group I could think of to put this item into!

     Over the weekend(Apr 20), MOTAS was looking for some sealing wax to use on
letters.  For those who may have never seen it, sealing wax looks like a candle
made of plastic or hard wax.  It will burn poorly or not at all in the standard
upright position.  It is used to "seal" a letter in an attempt to provide
visible proof of opening/tampering.  You see mail with sealing wax on it in
movies that are set in times >100 years ago(Yes, I know, a flair for the
anachronistic).

     Anyway, MOTAS has a great deal of difficulty in locating sealing wax.  Does
anyone out there know of sources, either at stores(SF Bay area) or mail-order?
The Hallmark stores that we have looked in have had very poor to nonexistent
selections, and sometimes we get strange looks when we ask if they have it.
