You should be able to order Bore Butter, or Wonderlube from any mail order supplier, listed here, under "Links", at the top of the index page.
At home, use Olive oil or any other vegetable oil to lube patches, etc.
Ballistol can be ordered, and if that is hard to get, use plain old Mineral oil. Ballistol is mineral oil with some cleaning additives to remove Mercury residue from the old Mercury primers used in WWI. A lot of members mix vegetable oils, or mineral oil( Ballistol) with melted Beeswax- available from local beekeepers.

has a recommendation for a patch lube that consists of ballistol thinned with water( or Water soluable oil thinned with water) in a 1 part oil to 5-7( your choice) parts water. You dip the patching material in strips into the mix, and then lay the strips out flat on a cookie sheet-maybe use some wax paper under the strips to save the cookie sheet from rust-- and let the strips dry. The water helps the oil spread evenly throughout the fabric, then evaporates, leaving a " dry patch lube". Really, just thinned oil. But it works for patching.
There are all kinds of vegetable oils available in the cooking section of your grocery store. The Ballistol can be obtained from hardware stores, and the mineral oil from Pharmacies, and groceries. I see beeswax, at various prices, in grocery, pharmacy, hobby, and health food stores. Sometimes its sold by the bee keepers at the Saturday town "markets" set up in communities to allow local farmers to sell fruits and vegetables to the town people.
If you find someone selling honey, ask them about beeswax. Often you can get it for free, if you don't mind straining the crud out of it.
Use a pan for the wax to melt in, but put the pan in a larger pan with water in the larger one, to act as a double boiler arrangement. This keeps the wax from getting too hot, and smoking or even burning. If you use coffee filters in your pot, use the filters in a strainer and pour the molten beeswax through the filter. Everything that is not wax will be left in the filter.
Some members mix beeswax with oils in a 50/50 ratio for a patch lube. Basically if the temperature outside is cold, you probably want to make the lube softer so you add a bit more oil. If its hot out, then add a bit more wax to the mix. Its not a rocket science. We have been lubing patches with saliva for more than 500 years, and if saliva works, then begetable oil can't be that bad!
