Dear Tony,


              Egad!  Incredible insight into similar processes in
dis-similar materials!  Tony you never cease to amaze me.   Well done, sir.


                         Warmest regards,  Chuck  Engles

i believe tbat it both evaporates (natural wax it is a volitile substance),
weathers (carried away by wind and water) and is washed off by both
detergents and acids in the atmoshpere.

just my 2 cents
