Possible New Orders of Alnico 5 and/or Alnico 8 magnets for 7-string humbuckers

Anyone need a picstory of wax-potting pickups, or should the billion others on the internet suffice? I keep meaning to get around to doing a proper (i.e. clear, not blurry as hell, detailed) picstory of a swap and pot, so since I'm now on break for a month I'm up for doing this.

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.

oh ok. this doesnt leave the top visible part of the pickups looking like "oh hai guayz i just gotted a waxz!"?

The Dark Wolf · 12-22-2007, 02:56 PM

You just wipe the wax off as soon as you pull the pickup out. That's why that old shirt looks so uh... jizzworthy.

Just dried wax.

But as for the pickups, mine look the same as they did before, appearance-wise.

Yes, glorp is to be avoided, as our ultimate goal is djent and when djent and glorp are combined the result is very hard to pronounce.

(Djglerpnt. Problem, no?)

Sounds vaguely Swedish.

Bork!
