As Michael said, it's enough.  More is better, but the amount of time and wax isn't worth it.  A buddy ordered non-waxed pf's, and painted the wax on.  I think he went through at least 10 lbs of wax for 50 frames.  And then swore never to buy non-waxed frames again.

I don't wax my Piecro black plastic foundation (5.3mm cells) because my bees DO comb them up with no problems.  However my bees wouldn't touch my pf frames (4.9mm cells) until I put more wax on them.  Your results will vary as with everything in bee keeping.  I go through about 0.8 pounds of wax per 10 deep frames when I wax with a foam roller.
