Gnu Bee Flyer,

Rather than try and give a direct answer, can I ask you which problem you are trying to solve? This will determine the properties of the wax you are looking for. One size does not fit all.

Some tiers like to use wax, others (and I am among them) hardly, or never, touch the stuff. In my case, touch dubbing is the only time when I use any wax in my tying. For this purpose I require a rather tacky wax, but one which only thinly coats the thread.

Overton's Wonder Wax is the stuff of legends. Off the market now some 15 or even 20 years, its passing generally lamented and the last remaining tubes hoarded. Other brands have stepped into the spot left vacant. Of those I like the tacky version marketed by Betts, and consider Al Beatty's tacky wax a close second.

Overton wax is expected back on the market any day now, and its return is an event I will watch with interest. Will the legend take on a second lease of life, or have the meories been overtaken by time. We'll see

Cheers,
Hans W
