Re. SEEKAY WAX.

Mr. Brock raised a query regarding the re-heating and continued use of the above wax causing deterioration of the same.

We now attach a letter we have received from I.C.I. which is self explanatory.

They also attach a list of precautions to be observed in the handling of this wax.
