Thanks gibblet for advice on string wax
 

Just used some BCY ML6 wax for the first time yesterday. Now I did rub it in after shooting instead of leaving it be(hard to break all habits), but this wax does seem to soak into the string better resulting in no flaking and waste of wax. So far I am sold on this simple product and if it does prove to preserve and extend a string's life and shooting characteristics......I will be a happy camper!

Good deal will have to give some a try.
Gibblet no wax should be use so strings wear out faster right.;)More business.I know your busy allready.
Thanks for passing along the tip.

I was going to post something similar…I heard somebody state on this web sight that the ML6 wax is good due to the silicone content and a few other things. I had 3M 100% silicone spray on my tool box at the house, so I sprayed the strings and cables. I can’t believe how well conditioned they look and feel and the spray dries so it doesn’t collect dust or grime. It even soaked in good and conditioned the serving around cables and string.

RE: Thanks gibblet for advice on string wax

Hmmm.... that's got me thinking; I might have to put in a sample request the next time I work with my 3M rep! :)

RE: Thanks gibblet for advice on string wax
 

Never heard of it. What is it and where can I find it?

RE: Thanks gibblet for advice on string wax
 

bcy-ml6 bowstring wax. its softer than textite, but still tacky, and contains silicon. you can get it from any number of online suppliers. its the best bowstring wax i've found so far.

My mistake guys, I went home and checked out the silicone spray lubricant and it is made by Loctite PN# 81246, not 3M. I have all kinds of 3M products on and in my tool box, so I assumed wrong.

Newman1,
I’m not sure where I got it, I have products on my tool box thatI have used in the aerospace industry for years. They are supplied to us from work. It works great as a mold release for igniter bosses on jet engines. When I heard somebody say silicone spray I wanted to try this product out since I knew it was silicone. Anyway, it looks like you can order it online. Listed below is a link for all the details in the product I’m using.

OK, so I need to request a sample from my Loctite rep, then... ;)

i hope arthur sees this so he knows what he's started.

RE: Thanks gibblet for advice on string wax
 

Just to clarify something….I’m not saying the Loctite Silicone PN# 81246 product is better than the approved and readily available BCY ML6, just wanted to share that I gave it a try and liked the results. Due to it’s light viscosity, it soaked in very well and very fast. I had this product within arms reach, so I figured I would give it a whirl.

I think out of the box quite a bit, but I don't know if I'm a trend setter. Yet.
