Liberon sell it, but it is not cheap. They produce it for French Polishing purposes, I came across it in my local hardware shop and bought some for polishing the brass bits. I dont know where you would get larger quantities.

Sounds like yet something else that at one time was reasonably priced now sold as a luxury product !.

Not bought any waste since the mid 80's, and as you say used to come in a large sack, very handy it was to, once it had soaked up all the oil it could be used to light up.
