[TowerTalk] bees wax application

[Jay R. Holcomb]

hi,
i saw a reference to bees wax again today for applying on a crank up tower where there is the steel to steel rubbing on the inside of the legs.  i looked in the archives and didn't see any reference to what is the trick to applying it to the inside of the legs.  i was able to get some from a local bee keeper.  in its normal hard form, it crumbles in chunks as i try to rub it on. so then i heated it in a old pie pan, and it was like water and then solidified in minutes.  looking at the tx-472, this looked like it was going to be a real chore to put on.
 
any tricks out there?
