[mpa] Waxing tubes

[jharmon12 at juno.com]

I have been doing this.  If I wax my whistle tubes and my end burner tubes, I can get away with much more powerful whistle mix in both of these rocket types.  The wax causes the tube to retain its shape so that the action of pressing it doesn't break the tube fibers apart and cause it to be weakened.  This translates to being able to use higher energy fuels, because the tube is simply physically stronger.

Are you all going to start to develop the waxing method of tubes?  Some are saying this is the next best thing since the stick was added.  Wondering if it will create a significance in performance?
