An important question, what bow do you have?
I built the CB from scratch, using a barnett recurve prod. The draw is 11"170#. The string is of B50, served with nylon.
The wax is VERY viscouse. Dont I lose much velocity due to it's resistance to the strings movement? ("non-erosive friction"?)
Also: a new and ugly question haunt me: Where the %^&* does the wax/lube go? Why do we need to re-wax every few shots? wax is one of the most stable materials. It doesn"t corode or evaporate. So???
Temporarily you can use vegetable oil and bee's wax (50/50). You can order Dalton 200 string wax online. Use silicone spray on the rail. WaX the serving and the string and don't forget the string loops. Anything with wax builds up on the surface. You should wax the serving AFTER every use. Wax the whole string before putting the string on.
It would not be wise to use Break free or anything with a solvent in it. The amount of speed loss is not big at all. Use the Bohning and order something thinner. I recomment Dalton or BCY ML-6. The Excal wax is good too. But so is bee's wax and vegetable oil.
