ah.....about that wax..........????????????? review above please...........

Because it makes a "purty color"

Or, I bought the stuff, I might as well use it.

Or, out of habit.

Or, I think it makes a more durable fly.

Or, as my son says "just because"

Or, to make people ask "why" so I get more posts under my topics.

Or, and the real answer is...no reason in particular.

Carl, you wouldn't happen to have any kin in Mississippi, would you?

Cash Bundren describing how he made his mama's coffin in Faulkner's As I Lay Dying:

I made it on the bevel.
1. There is more surface for the nails to grip.
2, There is twice the gripping-surface to each seam.
3. The water will have to seep into it on a slant. Water moves easiest up and down or straight across.
4. In a house people are upright two thirds of the time. So the seams and joints are made up-and-down. Because the stress is up-and-down.
5. In a bed where people lie down all the time, the joints and seams are made sideways, because the stress is sideways.
6. Except.
7. A body is not square like a crosstie.
8. Animal magnetism.
9. The animal magnetism of a dead body makes the stress come slanting, so the seams and joints of a coffin are made on the bevel.
10. You can see by an old grave that the earth sinks down on the bevel.
11. While in a natural hole it sinks by the center, the stress being up-and-down.
12. So I made it on the bevel.
13. It makes a neater job.
