I have a box full of wax so I’m keen to try this. Thanks Stuart.
As long as the block of paraffin is at least as tall as the stock, the blade will receive a continuous coating. The teeth cut the paraffin which is dragged into the cut and, somehow, does coat both sides of the blade. Hopefully, someone else has more understanding.

I found a discussion on this subject at https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/...andsaw.706083/.
