Usually there is a bit left on the surface that soaks in over successive smokes. When it looks like it's all soaked in I reapply. I haven't been doing it long enough to show a finished product. But I'm happy with the results so far.
I have heard of them corking up the chamber and dipping it into molten beeswax but I like your method better. Most excellent info. I will give that a shot.
Well I finally got around to doing this. As soon as I started applying the wax I was amazed at the colors and patterns jumping out at me.

Thanks for the tip, xrun.
