sicovmicendeux	Re: Pickup Potting question????? Contact a candle making supplier. they will sell paraffin wax beads and melting pots which are thermostatically controled. 65 to 75 degrees centrigrade ( modern new world fandangled unit of measurement ) will sufice. If the metal parts of the pickup, ie. baseplates/poles are cloudy looking, they are not up to temperature. essentially the wax is 'freezing' on cold metal. All the bubbles should come out before you remove the pickup. Was there anything else?
