I still use beeswax and am just 30!! I love the stuff. I was given a couple of what looked like buttons of the stuff and still haven't finished it after 2 years. I only had to get more when on a 38 degree (celcius) day my tying box began melting!! I was told, and bought, to get the wax they use to seal the bottom of toilet bowl. For a couple bucks it is going to last years and years, is clean, not overly tacky, and I still had enough to give away to 4 of my mates. It is underated. If I need it a tad more tacky, I just rub my fingers on it a couple times. If I need tackier(rarely, then I use the dubbing stick.

When I was tying a lot of deer hair bugs, I used the rod wrapping thread but I waxed it with beeswax first like we used to do back before waxed thread. Gee I am telling my age. LoL Tony --- "Jimmy D.
