Fine Pipes Halcyon and Paragon Wax is no more

I think his name was Samuel Goldberg and he created these pipe waxes himself and they were great. But for the longest time now, it seems he is no longer with us.
I used the Halcyon Wax for sandblasted and rusticated pipes. A liberal amount applied with a tooth brush and then a hair drier to melt it in and harden it. Brilliant shine and tough as nails.
Mark Tinsky said he uses Bullseye Amber Shellac on his blasted/ rusticated pipes so I bought some and will give it a try
But I'm still trying to replace the Paragon Wax for the smooth pipes. Vermont Freehand has both block and powered Carnauba. I wonder if I can use the powdered, and if so how?
BTW, I'm new here, so a big hello to everyone!
