Coating the Spring in Wax
Coating the spring in wax is so that the spring will stick to the rest of the wax when it's all done.
So you start off with getting the spring out of the pen then grab your wax and place it into a card board cup and place that in the microwave for 3:00 minutes then take it out and pour a couple of mls of methylated spritis in with the wax
Then place the spring in the mixture and place it in the fridge to cool for a couple of minutes
Once it has cooled pull it out of the wax before it has fully solidified and then just place the spring back in the fridge
