On a nice paint job I like to use Meguiar's on the final buff coat. When I need to fix something leaking I prefer JB Weld or silicone caulk. I suppose wax can do just about as good of a job...

I like how those antique awards have sealing wax on them. I wonder how many colours it comes in.

Oh yes there's that too; once I had a relative who sent a letter and stamped his family crest on the envelope. He just used an old red crayon. Total non-sequitir; my classic autie half-brother was taking crayons from the classroom this week and flushing them, he told the teacher he's allergic to them

It seems as though those crayons have been flushed away. :lol: :O)

I've stopped a troublesome leak at a metal pipe joint by heating the area with a torch, then touching a chunk of wax to it. The threads soaked it right up, and wouldn't you know it, no more leak!

That is the story of how my ordinary chunk of general purpose wax became awesome sealing wax.

An old Hawaiian storyteller I used to work with said he and his racer friends used to rub a bar of soap on gas tank leaks, so I suppose that's sorta sincerely sufficient at sealing surfaces
