To wax or not to wax.
All, both good thoughts.
my thinking in the first place is that bees wax (not bees wax anymore) rigns can be found on many boats, two on ours, and are useful for stopping sea water flow into the hull in cases where it's not too much water, etc. The wax hardens in the presence of cool sea water and pretty much stays in place. So what if the wax is left in tact while the cup is tightened down, friction will eventually melt it and the chunks can't do any harm in the interim and will most likely make their way out the back end anyhow. More thoughts??? Glyn
