Hi Keith & all


> I would think that black wax when "pulled" would be gray/off white a it gets thinner.

The colour gets quite dissipated as the wax is re-worked. The coloured 
wax probably gets diluted with freshly produced wax as well, leaving 
only a trace of the original coloured wax, in addition, mouthfuls of wax 
will be taken and used elsewhere. My experiment was with queen cells, 
but I think the results illustrate the foundation drawing point in the 
same way.
