A puddle of wax indicates overheating. I use low-acid type RTV silicone to recoat the flyback.

Make sure you check to see if the HO tube and Damper are good and adjust the HO cathode current. No more than 205ma or it will run hot. If not attented to it will kill the flyback. YOu also may want to check the HV regulator current and adjust the HV using an appropriate HV probe and high input impedance meter . Should be around 24-25kv with brightness at minimum.
