I usually dubb without wax. I do however continually moisten my hands with water. I use an old gummed envelope wheel that is mounted in a trough to wet my fingers.
One off-beat wax that I have used for dubbing is cross-country ski wax. The wax for the colder temperatures is what I prefer. (It isn't as gooey as the wax you would use when the temperature gets up to 28 degrees or hotter!)
