hungNtree,

I agree completley with what others are saying. When I first heard of it I too thought just the opposite. I now carry a candle in my bag always. One more thing I would like to add is that every so often I clean off the wax with a little alcohol on a Q-Tip from the female side and wipe the male end off clean and reapply. Keeps the grit to a minimum as John refers to.

With the wax on you don't have to push the peices as hard together and they will stay put and always come apart at the end of a long day.
