To Pot, or Not to Pot?

[SteikBacon]

How about this.

Mount the pickup in the cover.
Screw the screws into the bobbin so the wax can enter through the holes.
Then warm up the top of the cover (not side or bottom) to keep the wax fluid so it will not stick to the cover (not yet).
Dip the tip of the pickup in the wax, just as deep so you get it where you want it.
And not too long so you´ll heat up the bobbin.

Then the wax wont go into the bobbin, its too cold, but it will stick to the top of the bobbin and the cover. And the hot cover should make the wax fluid enough so it get where it´s supposed to.

With my old wire and mystical magnets and my special wax mixture I have now developed and launced my Immac Buckers.

They make the hairs stand up on your neck and then rip them right off.

probably that micrcrystalline stuff, I think DiMarzio uses something like that, its kind of sticky/gooey if you have to work on one of those things. yuk...
bees wax is cool 'cause it smells like honey.......

I'm pretty sure its regular parafin. They sent it to me in slab form. The Bee's wax came in small pellets.

I use a 3 to 1 mix (parafin to bees wax)....ooopps the cat is out of the bag....my secret wax mixture is now public info This was a recommendation from Zhang. I don't know if my results are based on the ratios of the mixture or the quality of the waxes....I know that it works for me.

Both waxes cost a lot more than your granny's canning wax. The bee's wax was white (which i requested) instead of yellow which tells me that it was refined a bit more.
