Beeswax

on the caps helps to dampen the cap. Yamamoto actually encapsulates their coupling caps in beeswax with a wooden tube over the assembly.If the caps are fil types the ehat of the molten wax actually helps since many if the pastics will shrink a bit from the heat making for a tighter winding. I do not think adding the quartz would hurt and actually should have helped the top end, smoothing it out.

quartz at the ends of the caps are beneficial as the caps are made by winding foil. The ends would expose the open windings and it is there that the inductive magnetic fields would be the strongest.

Quartz in beeswax on the inductors should also be good. I don't know about coating the entire crossover board, however.
