I used bees wax in the distant past (from a toilet bowl donut). Put it in a
ChapStick container for storage (I can't remember if twisting the end of the
stick forced the wax out). I quit using the bees wax because it was to
sticky and messy when getting it on my fingers. Has any one else had a
similar experience with bees wax? Maybe the wax I was using was of poor
quality. Havn't used it since but I still have a couple of "donuts" in the
garage I purchased just for dubbing - A 10 lifetime supply...Maybe you could
grind up some stink bugs to mix in the beeswax for a better smelling fly...

Then I began to suspect it had a smell the fish don't like.
I can't prove this, but I now believe it to true.
So I don't use ski vax anymo.

I believe that as well. If something smells wrong, then the fish will

refuse
it.


Well, hell, fish have been telling me for decades now that my flies
stink.... ;)

Or mix it with cod liver oil.
