Did you ever consider heating the tube? IMHO if you wrap the tube with a resistance wire (i.e. thermocouple wire) and run some battery current through it it should heat the tube nicely. Of course so

Wouldn't that increase the diameter considerably? I think I'd want to keep the drilled hole as small as possible. Also you have to watch resistance wires pretty carefully, as they tend to get rather

Well, no I didn't think of that, but things are getting complicated. What I really think I'll do is coat the inside of the sills with oil and save the Waxoyl for more exposed areas. Somewhere I saw

Since the wire is readily available in sizes down to 0.001 inches diameter you could even put a loop down the center of the tube and heat the Waxoyl directly. - -Mark = =o&o

Hi there, in my limited experience waxoyl does set in the spray tube but once the initial hard bit has been forced out the rest flows freely. Of course you end up wasting the harder bits, but what ca

I think we're getting to the point of unsafe here... You're suggesting putting a glowing red hot wire into a very flamable mixture in a confined space. Doesn't that sound a little dangerous?

Nowhere did I mention a glowing red hot wire. Were you thinking of taking your toaster apart? :^). You run just enough current to warm up the medium in question. This method has been successfully use

My heated, but unthinned, Waxoyl did indeed *flow* freely; the problem was that it would not *spray* when the long application tube was used. I got globs on the bottom of my cardboard "sill". I have

My long tube has a sort of nail like thing in the end which makes the Waxoyl spray out sideways from the end of the tube when pumped up. It works so well that I got covered in the stuff once the har

I found keeping waxoyl warm by putting the container in hot water was tiresome and not very effective. I used an infrared type electric heater (the type with a quartz tube element). I sat the can (wi

I put duct tape over all the holes for a few days and found this kept the Waxoyl from leaking out before it had time to congeal. Also, on the subject of spraying, one trick I tried was to thin the w

I think this explains the discreptancies in this thread. It's the thinning. Clark uses Waxoyl in the winter and it runs out of his sills for weeks; I use it in the summer and it congeals in the spray

The simple spray tip to be used on the end of the long application tube doesn't work well at all. I made a cardboard "sill" to test the spray uniformity and got only a blob on the bottom. Part of th
