    Here's a source at Calumet for photographer's prop wax.

    If this is the same stuff I bought 20 years ago it will last your
    entire life. You have to be very judicious with the amount and
    pressure or, like the museum putty you mention, it will show up as an
    unsightly blob at the bottom of your ring. Works best on hard or
    shiny surfaces and not so well if you're using heat producing lamps
    for lighting. 

    With digital you should never work under hot lights again. Go out to
    Lowes and purchase their screw-in daylight fluorescent bulb (about
    $7.00) and use the custom white balance feature on your camera to set
    it. These are, of course, available on line at any number of sites. I
    buy $10 "drafting" lamps at staples to put these bulbs in. Great
    table top studio lighting.
