What's in your vise?

Cold Room Tying Wax:
The room where I tie is over my garage. It is heated, but is at the far end of the vents of the HVAC. It often gets fairly cold in the room as I live in NH and winters are still cold, but not as cold as even 20 years ago. I don't often use wax, but for some material it is difficult to lay on dubbing without it. Normal tie wax does not work well in the cold, so I use ChapStick. It stays flexible and is sticky enough to get the job done

Too bad it doesn't come in flavors like "fish roe"

It’s great to use on your ferrules, and as emergency line and fly floatant.
