I own a diatonic concertina (C/G) and recently discovered that, during a cross-country move, the reedplates fell off when the accordion wax melted (guess it doesn't like 109 degree Nevada weather?)I can't seem to find a direct supplier of pre-made accordion wax, so I was going to make my own... I saw one place recommend a 90/10 beeswax/rosin mixture, but this 65/35 seems to make a lot more sense (I can't see 90/10 being tacky enough to prevent the plates from melting off again)The beeswax is easy to find, but I'm having trouble with the rosin -- in what form should it be purchased to mix in with the wax? I see lump resin (usually used as an incense), blocks of rosin (for string instrument bows), and rosin flux. What form is the best for accordion wax?
