Some time ago someone mentioned on the list, that the need for wax came from the old time materials, no pre-waxed threads and no tools to hold hook and thread. Wax was needed to keep the dubbing on the thread.
I'm off now for 2 days, don't know if I can read my mails.
Play nice

I used the glue stick when I first started tying. I don't use the glue stick or wax any more since I learned the rope dub from DonO.
I hadn't tried the toilet seal wax before, just thought it would work. I remember others saying that's what they used.
