I also have 3M "Artist's adhesive" Will that work? It reads,
"SPMA MAX 70 VOC" under the can.
I've done Bachtorock's advice of carefull reheating the wax by using a hair dryer until the wax just turns watery and clear in color..The last Hybrid I made though,I actually dipped it in a wax container that I got from Walmart..The container is big enough to totally submerge my pickup in...See the link below...I think I show the pickup dipped in my wax container at the bottom of my tutorial?

I'm excited. I puleld out my Custom 5 pup and started testing the procedures on your page.
I unwrapped the pup first.
Then I loosened the four small philips screws.
I wanted to pull the magnet out, but thought I shoudl stop there for now.
I still don't see what the wax is for. I'm assuming I wouldn't need wax if my pickup does not have a cover.Last edited by StrangeDay; 03-17-2004, 02:49 AM.

Depending on the pup I generally leave the tape in place and kinda push it out of the way ... But if I gotta remove it ... Well if it's old I'll chuck it and use electrical tape, if it's a newer pup,
(read tape in good condition) I'll put it back in place and then wrap electrical tape around it ... i just like the electrical tape.
Clear nail polish would probably work good as well, as you can use that stuff as an adhesive that's easily removed on a lot of things.
If you want to be tacky, you could use that coloured electrical tape to add a bit of ...::::To sound reinforcement engineer::::

I'm not into the cover thing myself, and have never had a problem with not repotting, but as a good side query what kinda wax do you use ... They (whoever they are )used to sell a little pack of wax bars ... they were sold in grocery stores for sealing foods that you *canned* (ala mason jar) ... I remember those from my childhood ...so where do you get the wax ... somebody must sell something similar, and what about the pup wrapping tape?
Got any good suppliers John?::::To sound reinforcement engineer::::

Though there is already wax inside of the pup, it should be re-heated so that the new magnet, bobbins, etc can be molded together again, thus preventing microphonics?
