"I have some of that cord - - it feels "waxed" - all the better to make a slip knot, perhaps"

Is the cord manufactured to feel 'waxed'? What is the purpose of the cord you have?
OR/ AND does the sick puppy SOB hobby with arts and crafts, macrame' and candle making projects? Bee wax is commonly used for sewing projects, small container EZ to apply to threads, string and cords but perhaps it is purchased with the wax applied.
