Is it possible to apply the wax to the bottom of the outer movable
section instead of to the top of the stationary section?  This
could be done from the ground so it seems like it would be the
easy way to go.

How do we know that the sections involved are always the bottom
two sections?  Are you saying I don't need to wax the top 4 sections
of my 6 section tower?
