Hey, materials people?  For sixty years my family has been using candle butts
to wax the metal runners of our venerable Flexible Flyer 5-F, under the
impression that this speeded things up.  But recently I cleaned the runners
and discovered....sixty years of candle wax.  What is the preferred treatment
for a metal runner, to improve slickness on ice or snow?
