11 years is not bad for a single wallet, although it's losing out to my current one.
The hot wax machine was pretty straightforward. In the bottom was a reservoir of, er, wax, warmed up to melting. There was a roller which dipped into the wax and pulled a thin sheen of the fluid stuff up. A piece of paper or something else you wanted to stick to something was put on too of the roller, and it'd be pulled through, with a reasonably uniform layer of molten wax on the bottom and an unburned top. Then we'd set the page on the layout boards, and with the wax cooled the page would be locked solidly in place, but still be removable with effort. The pasted-up boards were sent to the printer for photo offset printing.
Say, I failed to mention, but you had a hand in my modern happiness. When BunnyHugger put out her proposal to all comers and I leapt at it, you were among those who endorsed giving me a try. I can't say that you clinched the relationship for me, but, I wouldn't want to do without any of the help I got, so thank you.
