In my experience most of the sets do work without the wax, it is what they use to lubricate the gears to help prevent wear and tear...I've used petrolium jelly (vaseline) for a while now it seems to work pretty good and isn't as difficult to get into the small places.
yess i have found it i would have been clueless just one more question hope you don't feel bothered but i'm not so familiar with wax so like how do I mix it with water or something else or just melt it? @@Dbuilderguy
No bother at all. I usually just rub it anywhere that I think there will be friction, like on the gear teeth or the holes where the pieces spin, basically anywhere that you would put grease I try to get a layer of wax.
Almost done with step one stuck on wax part how should i melt the wax? And honestly thank you so much for making these video i feel like its a great help.
I bought one of the wax melters like you use for aromatherapy that just heats the wax up in a little saucer, before I had that I just treated it like a crayon and rubbed it on the sections that were going to be interacting.
Thank you, I'm incredibly intimidated by this puzzel but your videos will get me through this I'm sure!
It is a bit of a challenge, but it's a fun one! Just go slow and you'll get there.
would it be a problem if i don't wax it??
what's the thing with wax in the last part do i have to do it?

i don't know what wax did you use so was a bit confused but i guess petrolium jelly (vaseline) i can do that. @@Dbuilderguy
It should have come with a little stick of wax, looks like a small candle.

do you need to lubricate the gear?
I can’t remember on this one, but I’ve never regretted adding lubrication on these type of models.
Thanks!! I just completed Step 1 today myself.
Nice! It can get a bit challenging, but you got this!
