[Boatanchors] Removing beeswax from slug-tuned transformers

[Philip Atchley]

Hi,

I've often used the hot tip of a small soldering iron to "reflow" the wax 
after it's been "disturbed" for any reason.  I would think that perhaps a hot 
iron followed up with a Q-Tip may do a good job of removing it.
