Jeez, Coug... Hoyt recommended waxing the servings around the cams when they first came out with the AIM system. That was what... 1988? What rock have you been hiding under all this time?

Gibblet... If all you're counting onto keep the strands from abrading against each other iswhatsilicone can seep down into the center of thestring,and not the wax, why not just spray your string with silicone lube? It's cheaper than that crappy silicone wax and, since it's liquid, seems like it'll seep into the string better.

I follow your logic about heating the string up. Since the string is under so much tension, the strands will squeeze the warmed up wax out of the string. That's why about every4th or 5thtime I waxed my string, I'd press the bow down a bit, just to loosen the strands, so I could physically work wax deep inside the string andaroundthe strands.

I'd still rub the string with leather and burnish the surface wax though, mostly to help keep moisture and grit out of the string. Stuff like you'd get into if you were shooting in wet or dusty conditons.
