Don't rub it hard after application either, 452x will start to fray and you dont need to warm it up when applying to get it in the fibers. I apply evenly w/ my fingers, then one or two passes witha lint free cloth to get the excess off.
Thanks, Matt. Is it something inherent of the 452X material? Isn't that a dyneema/vectran blend or is it a dyneema/spectra blend? Either way, I was wondering as I searched whether the string material made a difference on what type of wax you used. Also, I see you mentioned using a lint free cloth, so you wouldn't suggest using floss (I would assume which may cause the fraying)?
Yes, this is inherent of 452x. I don't know the exact blend of 452x (I let gibblet worry about that sort of stuff for me [8D]). All I know is that I've had in depth conversation w/ gibblet about this exact question and this was his response.........so that's why I do it that way.
