I have never tried any other wax but I would suggest to use the wax intended for such jobs (fibre glass wax you call it, I call it boat builder's wax, what's in a name).

If you really would like to use a different type of wax you could try bees wax but I am pretty sure you can simply order a can of boat builders' wax from the internet. If all else fails: mail Malcolm from Mega Kayaks (malcolm@mega-kayaks.co.uk) and ask him.

Like they say in Holland: "goed gereedschap is het halve werk" (roughly translated to "using the correct tool is half the job done").

Good luck and when you're finished, please post some pictures!
