    After much experimentation we have found the following to work best: 

    Instead of beeswax use a stick lubricant specifically formulated for
    lubrication of cutting tools and easy removal. An example of this
    would be Rio Grande's Bur Life. Other brands are available from
    other tool distributors. 

    Generously rub the lubricant along the entire length of your coil
    where the cut will be. This will insure a constant supply to the
    blade during the cut. It is not necessary to apply it to the blade. 

    When you are finished cutting, pour the jump rings into a screw top
    jar and then add hot water to about half way to the top. Add a
    little dishwasher detergent. Securely replace the lid and shake it
    vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds. 

    Pour the contents of your jar into a small strainer and run hot
    water through it. 

    Empty the contents of your strainer onto a clean surface (paper,
    cloth etc.) and allow to dry. Your jump rings will sparkle and be
    easily soldered. 

Enjoy your Jump Ringer!
