Hi Tony! I've never used Overton's myself but I know its reputation, so when it hits the market I'll get me some. If only to see what I've missed all these years LOL. Wax... I've still got a piece fo cobbler's wax. I use it to run it along one side of a flattened 3/0 yellow thread to produce a great looking dirty yellow/olive body. How's the dock? Martin
