Anybody wax their serving on a longbow string.Would it be OK if you did?

Not me. Can't think of a reason why anyone would want to wax the serving?

I dont and wouldnt just because I wouldnt want wax in my nocks and on my fingers but I dont see that it would hurt anything,but I dont see the need either. I use halo or crown serving and it doesnt fray like nylon.

I just wax the sting, no need to on serving.

Wax on the serving could cause a not so clean release.

Been waxing the entire string (including serving) since I was a pup. Always rub the string down with a leather pad afterword.

No problems of any kind doing it that way. If anything the release is smoother.

No, it could possibly loosen the serving.

I wax the whole string as well and never had any issues with it, gives me a cleaner release and cut's down on wear as well.
