waxing..

I tried to wax this weekend. But no success. How should it be done. When in the prosess? Bobbin mounted with lead wire or not? As experiment i had bobbin with different tape, and without, wire to connect to lead (whats it called)... Tape fell off and wire broke.
How hot should the wax be? I also tried two bobbin to see when bobbles stopped. After 30 min there were still coming bobbles.

Hm, had forgotten that.... How about tape around the bobbin? Would that stop wax or will it soak it up round the tape?

depends on how much tape
