But, if memory serves (and this WAS a long time ago), when we began doing

waxed paper negatives, there were few if any alternatives... We didn't all

have computers, in fact could be using a paper cup and a string to reach

"the list."

The irony may be that nowadays it can be difficult to get paraffin for the

waxing... it used to be sold in every grocery store for sealing your

home-made jam. (Besides which, "beeswax" is not necessarily among ordinary

art supplies.)

For some reason my mail is arriving with about 100 lines of boiler-plate 

intro. When I catch it in a reply I delete, but I think the last one 

escaped me.  Sorry.
