Which on clothes, probably the initial purpose/notion, comes of with 
every wash, which is generally why nobody at all thinks of something 
that fails every single time by design, and application.

Bee's wax, migrates, crumbles, washes off, candle wax, migrates, 
crumbles, washes off, chapstick, another wax, migrates, forever, washes 
off...  Oh, and they generally all stain, and attract crap that sticks, 
jams, and stains, as well, so, none of those are too good for zippers, 
either.

I'm pretty sure the OM said something about not wanting to f--k his s--t 
up, from the start.

But, yeah, we've all heard of other stuff.  If he wants to do a REALLY 
good job, maybe a soda blaster with distilled water, and resurface, and 
polish each tooth.
