>on averahe, how much parrafin seeps into each new box?

Juanse, I dipped 5 new deep pine supers last year, weighing each before and
after.
The mean weight gain per box was 36g.  But that figure underestimates the
amount of wax absorbed and adsorbed, since some weight of water is lost
during the boiling.
