Joey, I'm not sure it has enough wax to be used quite like you are thinking. But it is enough that will hold the various threads of floss together a little tighter. Think of it as the jerry rigged version of whipping and binding something then putting a coat of glue over the threads so they don't go anywhere. Add a little strength, not much, but helps. You can also use it to replace waterproofing o-rings if you must- not as good as the real thing, but better than nothing. I hope. :P
