Over the years we see the subject of dubbing wax, or the reason for not using it being continually recycled. Now I have another option. There is an ALL PURPOSE GLUE STICK sold by ELMER'S for applications like mounting photos in an album. It is a sticky adhesive that is about as tacky as the adhesive on POST-IT notes and costs about $1 for a lipstick type tube.

I've used it for light touch dubbing and for heavier loop dubbing and it gives super results. A single wipe down the thread is invisible and all that is needed.

For a buck you should try it.
