For those of you who use wax sheets to seal the end of the tube when gluing what do you use and where do you get it?

I found some on PSI but they are out of stock, has anyone ordered something off of Amazon that works?

Thanks!

I'm cheap. I use a heat gun to melt candle wax into a ceramic bowl my wife threw out. After gluing the tubes in I punch the wax out of the tube back into the bowl. When I've used over half the wax in the bowl I re-melt it back into the bowl. Any trash or hardened glue settles to the bottom, and I scrape it out using a tongue depressor before the wax hardens.
 
Kid's modeling clay. I do wipe the tube before gluing as it leaves a residue on the tube.
Edit: And it comes in pretty colors.

I use Foundation Wax - it comes in sheets and is used in beekeepers hives so that bees have a foundation to start building their comb on. I get mine from my neighbor, he keeps bees, but you can find them all over the place on the internet. - Dave
 
More than a few years ago, I was at the dentist's office. I knew that dentists use this stuff, and asked him where he gets his sheets of wax. He said they don't use that any more. Then he said, "I think we still have some in the store room." He gave me a box of wax sheets! I still have about half the box!
