Wipe the cans with mineral oil. Its much easier.

I've never waxed cans, myself, but my great-grandmother used to seal the tops of canned items with wax. She had a dipper that gg-pa made to spoon up the wax and pour over the jars. Sounds like a pita.

My mother used to pour wax over the top of her jams and jellies.
