waxing the strings?

#1 Post by muntries » Thu Mar 11, 2010 8:02 pm

Hey just wondering if I can wax my bow strings with run of the mill natural beeswax? Just might be easier to get hold of that than some of the bow wax brands out there.

Great thanks, I was gonna just do it but thought it best to ask others before I did. Beeswax is pretty benign stuff but when your still learning like me its best to be sure.
