Re: [Harp-L] beeswax marine band

["Michael Peloquin" <peloquinharp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Be careful with beeswax.
Safety: Listmember G had a beeswax cooking accident that was not pretty!

Clogged Reeds: Richard Sleigh used beeswax at one time and it was a disaster 
on some customized MB/s20s that he made for me. Must have got warm to hot 
and then gunked up the reeds & slots.

I think moderation may be the key, isn't it always?
