I use nail polish. My wife bought me some years ago, and it is still going.
Comes with its own brush, and one small drop will do the trick until you want to unscrew it.

What I've used for years ,And it works great

Log cabin pancake Syrup

Just a A drop on the threads and screw it in
And when you wanna take it out, Get a class of hot water,Dip the head and wait a minute ,And unscrew it ,I've never had one come undone ever .

Just a drop,It doesn't take very much .

Wax or nail polish... just another day at the Trad Gang spa.
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight;nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety;is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free,unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Plumbers tape works good, except I can never find mine, so I use clear satin nail polish most of the time.  You don't need to give it a bath in the stuff for it to work, one drop on the edge is enough. Stay away from the pinks and purples, they stick tighter for some reason than the clear.

that is an interesting statement! Almost sounds like their could be some validity, someone should do some testing   :saywhat:

thread tape works wonders, wax works well but if you dont want to wax every now and then try the tape. Either way it is really not that big of a deal!

Wax is perfect when you switch to broadheads much easier than other options.

If the arrows are aluminum, get them swagged and eliminate any points coming loose...

I find a little snug up with some adjustable jaw pliers with a little padding to not mark up my point goes a long way and works better than wax.  Just don't go crazy on the pressure.  Wax has not worked for me, but I use the high tech stuff and it is soft.

String wax works well, as does a drop of clear nail polish.
