If WD40 wont penetrate the joint in a gaseous state, what makes you think
hot beeswax is gonna ?


More than 20 years working on marine steam and diesel plants where the
joints are exposed to temps near 900F when hot and moisture when cool.

There are many versions of mechanic-in-a-can and nothing, absolutely
nothing, works better than beeswax. It does not flash off and penetrates
far better than the extremely light oils used in household miracle
products.
