You can find it at Hobby Lobby.
Hobby Lobby typically carries emulsifying wax in their craft supply section, but inventory can vary by location. It’s best to check the specific store's availability on their website or call ahead to confirm if they have it in stock. Additionally, you can find emulsifying wax at other craft or specialty stores that focus on soap-making and cosmetics.
Yes, glycerol monostearate (GMS) can sometimes be used as a substitute for wax, particularly in formulations where a thickening or emulsifying agent is needed. GMS has emulsifying properties that can help stabilize mixtures of oil and water, making it suitable for certain cosmetic and food applications. However, the choice depends on the specific properties desired in the final product, as GMS may not provide the same texture or barrier properties as wax. Always consider the formulation requirements when making substitutions.
Substitutes for emulsifying wax include vegetable-based emulsifiers like Polawax, BTMS (Behentrimonium Methosulfate), and cetearyl alcohol combined with a fatty acid. Other options are lecithin, which is derived from soy or sunflower, and soap-based emulsifiers like potassium stearate. Additionally, natural thickeners like xanthan gum or guar gum can help stabilize emulsions when used alongside oils and water.
Some gas stations or a candy store.
You can get wax from candles. I don't know about the others

You can buy wax paper at your local supermarket, such as Kroger or WalMart. It will be in the isle with tin foil and maybe plastic bags.
I think you can buy it at LA tan
Candle wax isn't the same as board wax. Candle wax can make your board stick to the snow, so just spend the extra couple bucks and buy snowboarding wax.
yes
To make a carnauba wax emulsion, start by melting the carnauba wax in a double boiler until it becomes liquid. In a separate container, mix water with an emulsifier, such as soy lecithin or a commercial emulsifying agent. Gradually add the melted wax to the water-emulsifier mixture while stirring continuously to create a stable emulsion. Once fully combined, allow the mixture to cool and thicken before use.
