   You can use any kind of wax you want, as long as you’re ok with the scent etc. You can use a pork chop if you want. Wax is simply to lube the string and slow the fraying. There is no such thing as "proper wax"….that’s more junk the amateurs get sold on and pass on like it’s gospel.

   Buy the proper stuff; most candles have scent, which you surely want to avoid.
