Ron;
 Not true O' mid country sage...I jus ain't gonna share it! :-)

 Carol;
  I am not sure about this "fungus" stuff but most fungus is aerobic and in 
order to grow  'in' parrafin it would have to be on the surface and not 
encapsulated in the stuff...if a fungus were to grow encapsulated in parrafin 
it would have to be anaerobic and those thingees are kinda rare.

  I also don't know about Thompsons being formulated with paraffin or a 
paraffin by-product but 'if' it were and the 'stain' you had applied 
originally contained a sulfate of copper, brass, aluminum, magnesium, etc., 
and a lot of them do,....then the chemical reaction could conceviably take 
place between the "paraffin" based 'sealer' and the "sulfate" containing 
stain.

  Interesting problem....have you duscussed it with Thompsons?
