    I have owned a couple of these but I did not know the name of them I thought that they originated in Australia.... the first one I bought has so much wax on it it was like wearing a cardboard box so I washed it and ruined a washing machine but the cut was awesome after that...

    pretty sure both coats perished in my two fires.... I think I remember something about the good ones using beeswax...

      I used to use beeswax to tune electric pianos. At the end of the key is a magnet mounted to a spring that vibrates in front of a coil. Each key has this. If it's really off you can add a drop of melted lead and sand it down until the note is nearly perfect. Then drip a drop of beeswax on it and scrape it down until the note is perfect according to the stroboscope. Beeswax lasts for decades.

        Do you know those long coats that they wore in the long Riders movie? Very popular in westerns it is heavy canvas cloth with what I always thought was beeswax coated onto the canvas to make it waterproof and God damn these coat smell not exactly bad but definitely not exactly good
