Nothing special, actually. This was near the core of the FBT, so it was not in close proximity to the HV windings. Wax salvaged from old transformers or even from old paper capacitors is adequate for the low-voltage areas. It's important to heat the wax for several minutes before pouring to drive as much water vapor out as possible. Continue heating the wax at a steady 212 degrees until steam is no longer visibly escaping the surface.
