If I understand correctly, the coating on the RF coils and such is Natural Beeswax- Is this correct? While my RF coils are ok(show good continuity where good continuity should occur) some of the coating has gone missing, both through normal wear and during the rebuilding process, and I wish to recoat those areas. I just wanted to confirm it is indeed natural beesawax.
