Saturday, I had Zeegers as a captive teacher for many hours as we traveled trom Munich to Nijmegen (Holland) together... about 4 hours in transit. We discussed the use of bone wax pretty extensively. He's used it for decades in various orthopedic applications. Zero infections.... never had a problem related to bone wax. It's an interesting compound that is frequently misused. It must be used sparingly... apply it and wipe it all off.... the minor amount that remains does it's job.
