Fred,

You can make your own for about $20 per gallon if you are not in a rush.
It's pretty simple, take a pound or so of clear parafin wax (like what they
use for canning), grind it up into small pieces with a chesse grater. Put it
in a closed container with a half a gallon of mineral spirits and let sit
with occasional stirings until all the wax disolves. Generally try to
dissolve as much wax as possible.  After it is all dissolved and will hold
no more wax add two to three pints of clear mineral oil.  If the mixture is
too thick to spray add some mineral spirits to thin.
