What about the "dipey" stuff used to protect a re-sharpened
mill cutter? might it work?


Or -- just do what I do -- save the wax from Gouda cheese, and
when you get enough, melt it and pour into some disposable container for
future use -- for tool dipping and whatever.

Enjoy,

Drill a hole in the back end of the screwdriver and fill it with the
wax. Not my idea but I remember it from an old Popular
Science/Mechanics magazine many years ago.
