Subject: A better gasket?

Hi all,
Sorry I sent this originally without a subject so I am reposting in case you
deleted before reading.

In looking for a better gasket material what about just rubbing the comb (the
flat part that is in contact with the plates not inside the chambers) with
wax. I know this would not seal the comb, (I seal mine with urethane anyway)
but do you think it would work well as a gasketing method on wood combed
harps? Removing micropore can be a bore. Wax also sounds like it would
create a more airtight seal. you could even lightly fill the ridge that the
cover plate fits into on the MB to seal that. If this is a viable gasket, you
could lightly reapply a thin coat of wax whenever needed. What do you think?
Would this be a good way to gasket or are there problems inherent in this
method?
