Hello PlatinumBird55, it appears that the wax was used as a fix agent to hold the flyback as wound. I've used corona dope on flybacks to help eliminate high frequency whine. It is used more for its' insulating qualities than rigidity. I don't think it will hurt anything and will insulate the winding. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
