Title: Waxing strings
Post by: bentstick_55 on April 01, 2008, 12:15:00 AM
Ok guys here is probably a stupid question but until recently I shot a regular dacron string on my bear recurve. Now with my new Tomahawk I have a twist string. Do you wax them as you do any other type of string????

Yes I do but not a frequently as a b50 requires.Less stretch and tougher material.

I wax my strings when I make them and rub it in with a piece of leather.And them wax when they look dry.Waxing a string helps to keep moisture out.

Waxing also provides some 'lube so the individual strands don't wear on each other as much... helps lengthen their lifespan a bit...

When it feels dry to the touch is a good time to wax it.
