Mold release wax? Found It! Carbon Fiber with Epoxy

I am looking to buy some mold release wax for my carbon fiber project, and I want to buy it locally somewhere. I tried Walmart, and they didn't have any. Anyone have any idea of a store that would carry this product?

Home Depot?


Edit:
I did some research and found that Johnson's Paste Wax will do the trick as well. I will try this and see how it works out for my epoxy resin carbon fiber layup. I hope to produce some parts and stuff soon, let me know if you have anything you want me to make. Carbon fiber is some trick stuff, but it is expensive for sure as I guess there is a worldwide shortage.

One thing that I learned is that if you are buying carbon fiber parts, make sure that the company making your parts is using Epoxy, and not fiberglass resin. Fiberglass resin will crack and spider. Epoxy costs way more than traditional fiberglass resin, this is why some of the cheaper carbon fiber parts are made with fiberglass resin.

Meguairs (sp?) makes it. I would think any decent auto parts store that sells that brand would have it or could get it.
 
Recently i've taken a liking to places that specialize in industrial supplies... Colorado Plastics in boulder is where I get a lot of my solvents... might want to do some googling and see if there's any plastic or CF supply places nearby. Is this similar to plastic injection molding release compound?
