"Without the puck you're out of luck, Bee's Knees Super Wax Get's Stuff Un-Stuck"

I was wondering about how I should tell this story. Nikki said I should start with, “Once upon a time, there was a bee…” Well, even though that is… cute, it is not entirely accurate.

This story wouldn’t be complete without the bee, nor would it be possible without the bee, but it didn’t start with the bee. It started back in 1990 and 2010 with a squeaky fan belt, MacGyver-esque thinking, stuck zippers, and tangled thread!

In my previous career, I would help people in and out of dresses, gowns, coats, jackets, blouses, and most of these had zippers and many of them would stick. I also sewed on beading and buttons and repaired hems and seams.

If any of you have even just sewn on a button, you know that the thread tangles and knots frequently. To prevent this, I would drag the thread along a block of a paraffin blend wax, and the thread wouldn’t tangle. So I thought, “I bet this would work on zippers that stick too…” and it did. It smelled funny but it worked.

Flashback! In 1990, I had a 1984 Volvo 240GL, a 4-door sedan, sunroof, leather heated seats, and a tank of an engine (go ahead, laugh). I loved that car but the fan belt was always squeakingI would carry a piece of wax in the glove box (I did say I was like MacGyver… really, I am!), and when it would really start to sound like I was holding a flock of seagulls hostage under the hood of my car, while the engine was running, I would hold my wax against the moving fan belt and, “voila,” silence… Yup, I really did that!

Next stop, April 2010. I had the opportunity to pilot a 36′ boat for a few years. I was at Clinton Yacht Haven; the marina where the boat was slipped, and all of the guys were telling me, “You won’t ever take your boat canvas off; zipping them back on is a pain in the arse.” (They used a bit more colorful verbiage than that!)

I told them: “No way, I take my boat canvas off all the time!” But yup… they were right. OMG, it was awful! The boat canvas zipperswere sticking, the snaps were stuck, and the boat canvas was so stiff. Stuck zippers, snaps that wouldn’t snap, and sticking slider doors and hatches were becoming a big problem!
 

About 10 minutes into the struggle between myself and the boat’s windshield canvas stuck zippers, I remembered I had a small piece of smelly wax in the car (the one I used on thread and zippers). I grabbed it, ran it up and down the zippers, and it worked okay. I said to Deb and John, the owners of the marina and dear friends, “Someone should market this, maybe I will!” We all laughed.
 

On the drive home that day, I was sitting enjoying the ride, thinking about the day and what a cool thing the smelly wax might be… I said out loud: “Bee’s Knees Zipper Wax.” “Gets Stuff Un-Stuck.” “That’s the name… I am going to market this!”

Now with the new logo and new name, Bee’s Knees Super Wax is still the same great product!
