Was it the cm3 you wanted translated? That's cubic centimeters; like me,
you're probably more used to seeing it abbreviated as cc. But I think we
may need the paraffin translated as well. My understanding is that
Europeans mean something different by paraffin than the white solid wax
used for canning that we call paraffin in the US. And where does one
find camphorated oil? I assume a batting is like a cotton wad or ball.
