[QUOTE="Winslow, post: 343236, member: 9104"] The Paraffin freely available is illuminating paraffin and from what you describe must be a different mix to what you were using. This illuminating stuff is oily. The only other paraffin I am aware of is power paraffin which is usually green and is even worse. Used as a change over fuel in tractors and stationery engines its awful stuff, messy like diesel. All I know for sure is that Illuminating Paraffin is like oil. Having being brought up in Central Africa North of the Zambezi. We always used to add a bit to any stagnant water pronto old tires drums and rock polls etc. To kill mosquito larva it formed an oily film over the water very quickly and when the little wriggling devils came up for air it coated them and they suffocated. It kills aquatic life we were always very careful with it never put it in water with other life in it. They took care of the larva very well they are a tadpoles favorite food. [/QUOTE]
