Look online for cosmetic making supplies, usually have flake carnuba there. They use it in lipstick and some lotions. Use sparingly, if your lube is too stiff, reduce the carnuba.
Jeff,
I ordered some flaked Carnuba was (4 oz.), 1 lb. of triple filtered beeswax and have 1 lb. of petroleum jelly.
This materials seems to be used a lot. I was told it should be 1:1 as far as beeswax/petroleum jelly. But how much of the Carnuba should I add? I don't want it real soft as I do have heaters on two of my sizers. I'm going to make 1” x 4” hollow sticks. Was wondering if 1” pvc conduit would work for molds and would I need mold release in order to be able to break the sticks free from the mold?

If someone else had of done to me what I did to myself . . . I'd have killed him. Humility is an asset. Heh - heh.
