Default RE: waxing your bow

well, 452x doesn't like getting hot. if that's what you have, and it probably is on a binary bowtech, just get the string warm when you wax it and give it a rub-down, not hot.

some people rub it down with leather and get it hot, but that's a bad idea - no matter how many times they say it. when you rub a string down with leather and get it hot it doesn't spread the wax through the string. the wax heats up and actually leaves the center of the string and heads for the outside. its the last step in string making to get the wax out of the middle so the fibers lay correctly and you get a correct length.
