There's tons more. It's a simple process.

Here's mine at work.

WAX
1. Blocks of paraffin (canning) wax.
2.The bag of pellets is beeswax.

COOKING PICKUPS IN A DOUBLE BOILER (shouldn't technically use an open flame, but I'm Fire Marshall Bill Jr., so whatever.

FINIS

I used a candy/cooking thermometer to make sure the temperature stayed right about 150 degrees F. Too hot, and it could A) potentially damage the pickups, and B) you won't get as much saturation, because it's not viscous enough. Too cold, and it glorps all over your pickup.
