Do you wax the serving on your string?
Looks like some places say yes some say no. What do some of you string makers here say?
Exomax, Equinox, Matrix 380 and now a Scorpyd Aculeus
Re: Do you wax the serving on your string?
I use a bit of Bohning Seal Tite on mine, when I make them, and all of mine for my babies! Rub it in deep, and just a little bit every 100 shots, or so.

I use scorpion wax on serving every time I shoot it.

Re: Do you wax the serving on your string?
I wax my serving every 25 to 35 shots and the string when it starts to appear dry looking . If your serving doesn't cover your bumpers you'll have to watch this area of the string for wear and add wax when needed .

Re: Do you wax the serving on your string?
Less is more, too much and you'll gum up your trigger over time. Every 50-75 shots I'll lightly wax the serving and where the string hits the bumpers and then I apply a little Jigaloo with a micro fibre rag to the rail. I rotate the string end for end to wear on both sides of the serving equally. I never let a string get too dry, but I never apply a lot of wax; I use Dalton's.

Re: Do you wax the serving on your string?
I use Dalton's. When I make a string it gets a good coat. Then I apply the serving and apply a good coating to that. After the string is on the bow I wax it as required or every 50 - 75 shots or so. What little wax is left on my hand gets rubbed into the serving, then I clean the rail and apply a fresh coat of Archoil to that.

Re: Do you wax the serving on your string?
I wax my serving occasionally, and the string when it begins to look dry or if I see any fuzz starting to show. I clean the rail with a synthetic based lubricant and wipe dry with a clean towel after every outing. When I switched over to custom strings I gave the original strings to a member here and he told me they both looked new. One had about 30 shots on it and the other had around 300.
