Great, glad it worked out well. The bass cut seems to vary with different pickups. I just put swapped humbuckers to P90s and it’s much more pronounced.
I changed the covers on my new P90s and drained most of the wax out while soldering, so may repot them in future, but sounds like the wax was very hot and then disturbed as you added more. Friend of mine got a burn from knocking a garden candle and it basically exploded as the liquid wax splashed and caught light. Maybe just repeat the process gently as with the successful first one.

I posted here a few weeks back about wiring. I've done the job and it sounds great many many thanks to @mattioats. Taking a bit to get used to the knobs 'effect' being in opposite directions but the flexibility is great.
Today I waxed some pups.
One went fine.
The other, I'm not sure what happened. It may have been the heat. The wax instantly fizzed at a boil when I added more wax, the pup was already in the bath but neededtopping up. Same wax, both melted. Scared the shit outta me, choked the famallamas out. It was like when you inhale sulphuric drain cleaner fumes when its doing its thing to leaves or whatever.
The electric tape melted away away too. Maybe it was that?
Parraffin wax, some old scented candles.
Should I try again?
