I'm assuming that after you solder you're going to have flux residue
and burnt polish residue around joints....What cleanup solvent do you
use that doesn't also remove your wax coating in the area and create an
unholy mess? This applies to the other suggestions where the protective
coating is applied before soldering as well. Needless to say these
coatings seem to preclude a reflow job in an oven for any oddball SMDs.
