That poll is flawed!

That first question is actually two questions. And half of one of them (waxed plastic) belongs in the wax foundation.
Same as asking who puts plastic on their wax kind of thing!

Seriously folks :)
A) DON"T buy a cheap foam paint brush!
The one I bought fell apart in the hot wax >:(
I repaired it with a twist tie from a loaf of bread but still - You'd think for 69 cents...

The big question is: Can you put too much wax on a frame?
