RE: waterproofing pads: WARNING

As some of you may know, the Fox company uses liquid carnuba wax for a pad sealant on their bassoons. On the white kid pads of the bassoons, they put, as I recall, two treatments letting it dry and polishing it between treatments. In the case of bassoon pads, a wax treatment seals the tiny holes or pores in the pads so there is no leakage twice through the pad to the outside world. This is also great for sax pads as they too have tiny pores that need sealing. Clarinet double skin pads may not benefit as much from this treatment.
