    Hi, I read your remarks regarding the $300 digital wax pens, and I
    had to comment.  For the past 20+ years I have been making my own wax
    pens with miniature soldering irons, a transformer, and a rheostat,
    all for about $60.  Any good electrical supply source (fairly high
    tech, not Radio Shack) will have the soldering irons, or can order
    them for you, which are about 6 to 7" long and come in a range of
    temperatures.  The manufacturer of the ones I usually get is Wahl. 
    They come with some tips, but you can pretty much make any tip shape
    you want with silver or brass tubing and wire.  So if you are
    inclined to make your own tools, you can save a bundle and end up
    with a tool that does an excellent job. 

Best regards,
John
