OK. HAven't been lucky. I teach 2 hour blocks, and just can't seem to get it done with the kids. I decided on PE from the blue underflooring at Home Depot. Parrafin..no problem, have a pearl Paint in town (my home away from home)
Measured everything out...but there is just too much damn PE to melt. Melted down only a fraction so far. Then...what do I mold it in. Can I just make one big wooden box? Or what? I have gummed out so many beakers from the Chem dept trying to do this

I think it might just be easier to buy the damn wax from Thompson although not as fun.

I'll take some pics of what I've got so far.
