I collect my ear wax. I make my own candles from it and I also use it as furniture polish.
Has anyone got any suggestions on what else I could use my ear wax for?

Waterproof your deck or patio.
Buff your nails to a high shine.
Sculpt little beads for necklaces and bracelets. (Remember to bake them for durability!)

Graham, honey, please, PLEASE tell me that you are joking...?
As soon as I stop shuddering from the mental image of an ear wax candle glowing merrily in a dark room brings, I'll say that I also read that ear wax makes a dandy substitution for "chap-stick" or a similar product. Found that in the "Old Farmer's Almanac". Just make sure that you use your OWN ear wax and not from someone else. Hygiene, you know.
MAYBE...you could add color to the accumulated (sterilized) ear wax and start your own, bizarre, line of lipstick to sell. Couldn't be much worse than what is already IN commercial lipstick, which includes...FISH SCALES!! They add "shimmer" from what I've read.
Okay, now that I've totally grossed myself out, I'll leave you to your formulations.
I'm just jealous because I don't produce enough ear wax to protect myself from throat infections...which is what a doctor told me years ago. I changed doctors.
HAVE FUN...collecting your "valuable resource" (shudder...)!

Have you tried sculpting?
I've heard people have made grand paintings using human feces that sold for six figures. I can't imagine an ear wax bust selling for less.

I once read that people used to put it on their lips like Chapstick.
