Thanks for the replies. I potted those pickups with beeswax and paraffin mix about 20% of beeswax. I had the tapes already on the coils and the potting was a success I pressed the coil while it was still a bit warm to get it a bit tighter and it worked OK.

After you pot use tape to wrap the coil to protect it when you put the cover on or the cover will tear the coil. sort of a pickup condom :-)

No, It will melt the cover, or heat it to a point ware it will lose it's shape.

I?m asking because I made the coil of my neck pickup so fat that it was there and there to get the cover on to the pickup (loose winds).
