The wax for use inside the WAPI is available here: Quest International 5115 Sedge Blvd. Hoffman Estates, IL 60192 USA Tel: +1 (847) 645-7000 F: +1 (847) 645-7064 The type of wax we use is called Myverol, and the specific product is known as Myverol 18-06, which has a melting point of 69° C. Apparently, the smallest unit that they sell this product in is a box about 1 foot square, which weighs about 45 pounds (20 kg). This would be enough for untold thousands of WAPIs. The Lexan tubing can be obtained from McMaster-Carr in Los Angeles. This is the contact info: Phone: 562-692-5911 F: 562-695-2323

  • The wax for use inside the WAPI is available here: Quest International 5115 Sedge Blvd. Hoffman Estates, IL 60192 USA Tel: +1 (847) 645-7000 F: +1 (847) 645-7064 The type of wax we use is called Myverol, and the specific product is known as Myverol 18-06, which has a melting point of 69° C. Apparently, the smallest unit that they sell this product in is a box about 1 foot square, which weighs about 45 pounds (20 kg). This would be enough for untold thousands of WAPIs. The tubing used is .373 inches outside diameter, and the wall thickness is about .060 inches. It is important to be sure that you use a polycarbonate tubing, which Lexan is, but double check with your dealer, because other plastics (ones that are not polycarbonate) lack either the temperature stability or the optical clarity that is needed. The Lexan tubing can be obtained from McMaster-Carr in Los Angeles. This is the contact info: McMaster-Carr Supply Co. P.O. Box 54960 Los Angeles, CA 90054-0960 USA Phone: 562-692-5911 F: 562-695-2323 The product number is 8585K11. It comes only in 8 ft. lengths. at 60 cents a foot. The measurements given above were more exact than what the company's website gives--it says 3/8 inch exterior diameter and 1/4 inch interior diameter, which is fairly close to the figures given above. Quality control is important! Check every WAPI twice and look to see if ANY water has gotten inside the WAPI, because water will affect the wax, which will then possibly melt at temperatures below pasteurization temperature. When you make the WAPI's you put enough wax in the tube to fill it about half way. (The wax comes dry and powdered, looking a lot like fine grated Parmesan cheese.) After the first time it melts, it will be a solid chunk at the bottom of the tube. Bob Nepper also has worked with Rotary Clubs to build large numbers of WAPIs for use in international projects.
