And they still sell it for under $5.00 a tube.

And I keep the bows and the strings longer than most.
I know there's a lot of it sold and used, but to me it's too much like candle wax. There are better, softer waxes today. There's Scorpion Venom, White Lightning, Black Lightning, even 10 pt. crossbow wax is good. I've been using BCY ML6 for about 15 years now. I think I'm on my second tube now.

Check with www.bcyfibers.com and www.brownellarchery.com have to say. They make the string material so they know what to recommend.
