I started tying when I was about 10 years old and hated using wax because it seemed to get all over the place. I suppose it was because I didn't have any control at the time with thread and whatnot. So I adapted and haven't used wax since (with very few exceptions). I still have the same wax 25 years or more later although I'm not 100 percent sure of where it is. If I was going to use wax I do like the idea of the toilet wax ring however. One ring would last you a lifetime (I just replaced mine 6 mos. ago) and it seems it would work just fine. Not bad for $4.00 at Home Depot or wherever. I think it's just plain old Bee's Wax. Just my 2 cents worth...
