Hi Peter & all

> So what happens when you melt your old combs?

Yes, although the odd one or two go so slack that they need re- doing.

Nylon, or whatever polymer they are now using, will resist higher
temperatures than beeswax.

To pick up on Todds last message about cost...

>  bargain stores (dollar stores, etc.),

We have similar bargain stores in UK, but I do not recall any of them ever
having any fishing line for sale.

> clearance sales at sporting goods departments

As a disabled old git, I am unlikey to visit a sports department :-)

My source of supply is a fishing tackle shop in the small town I live in,
however the brand I am using is the cheapest that they have.

I did on one occasion find a spool of suitable stuff at a 'car boot sale'
which was only pennies.
