Thanks for the reply Mike,
You are probably correct, there is not much wax there.
Alfred:
I have a old 12 volt battery charger that allows me to vary the amount of charging current.
I just adjust the current for the amount of heat I want in the wire.
In Walmart fishing dept they sell single strand stainless leader material cheap.
I was looking on the net for a photo for you. Here is a link to give you a idea.
I have no affiliation with this business (just looked for a pic).

leader material is cheap and easily obtainable.
