Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

I've wound my own pickups with borrowed gear. Definitely pot 'em. No matter how good you think you did, it makes zero sense to not pot them.

Will do. Does material used matter. I know laquer breaks down over time

Just use the cheap paraffin wax your grandmother used to use when canning strawberry preserves. You can use a dedicated crock pot, or just clean out the pan after. Be aware of the temperature, keeping it just barely enough to melt the wax. It won't be hot enough to hurt anything. Let it sit in the wax until all the bubbles stop.
