I think this must be wrong as we drink liquid paraffin here, and I dont
think you could drink kerosene!!!! Liquid paraffin is what we use on paper
negs. It is not flammable, at least the negs dont spontaneously
combust!!!!!

> In Britain, paraffin is what we in the US call kerosene, sometimes coal
oil.
> The paraffin for sealing jams and jellies is a pure product from
distilling
> petroleum.
> To distinguish it from a liquid form it is sometimes called paraffin wax.
> We also use on our kitchen drawers to make them slide easier in and out.
> When I was a kid, we'd build small wooden sleds, waxing the bottom
w/paraffin
