Restuffing Wax Capacitors

I'm going to start another restoration on a set and will be restuffing the wax caps. On my last project I used hot glue to seal the ends which got the job done but didn't look like the originals. On this project I'd like to use hot glue to seal the ends but I'd also like to coat the whole cap in wax to make it irrecognizable from an original cap. I've been searching the net looking at other peoples techniques for restuffing and a lot of people use wax to fill the ends but I can't seem to find any techniques for coating the cap after its rebuilt. Does any one out there coat their caps in wax? What technique do you use? What wax works well?
