Jim,
 I heard about using wax-rosin at Weaver’s in Texas, USA.  They may have
thought it helped adhesion for their wooden nuc feeders.  I don’t think they
use paraffin in HI.  Is rosin cheaper than paraffin?  I use 129° melting
point paraffin from Walnut Hill Waxes in Bristol, PA.  Where do you get your
rosin?
