Sticky Wax & rosin

[Nigel Holmes]

In North America you'll be able to get pine resin from the nearest tree. Dissolve some in ethanol/methylated spirit and there's your solution...

(in Australia wattle gum won't work as well, but we have enough introduced P. radiata around)

That sounds like a good solution (pun intended)! Where did you get it from? I can only find a pasty substance for solder prep.

  I have a bottle of liquid rosin that I use for solder prep.  just a  
  drop on a dial cord drum works wonders.
