What Voboe said about Bees Wax is true, but the lip balm stuff has enough other oils and stuff in it to never make it THAT hard/sticky. I guess you could, but why use it when you could use lanolin or petroleum jelly to do the same thing?

Speaking of bees wax, I have heard that when replacing a tenon cork, you should put a layer of real bees wax on one side of the cork (that goes against the wood itself) so that when you cork grease it up, there's a protective layer between the tenon itself and the cork grease. Not entirely convinced that this makes a big difference, but like I said, it's just something I heard from a reputable repairman here in Eugene.
