Bohning Tex-Tite Bowstring Wax – 1oz Natural Based Protection for Bows and Crossbows

Technical Specifications

Instructions for Use and Maintenance

Proper application is key to ensuring your string is fully protected. Apply the wax directly from the tube to the main body of the string (where there are no servings). After applying, rub the wax vigorously into the string using your fingers or a small piece of leather. The heat generated by friction melts the wax, allowing it to penetrate deep between the individual strands. Repeat this process whenever the string feels dry to the touch or shows signs of "fuzzing."

Pro-Tips and Precautions:

• Avoid the Servings: Never apply wax to the center serving (where the arrow nocks) or the end servings. Wax on the serving can cause slipping or attract unwanted debris into the trigger mechanism of a crossbow.
• Keep it Clean: If your string is heavily soiled with dirt or grit, wipe it clean with a dry cloth before applying a fresh layer of wax.
• Consistency: Aim for a smooth, supple feel. Your string should be lubricated, not caked in a thick layer of sticky residue.

Archery Expert Insight

Did you know that a bowstring is composed of dozens of individual high-tech fibers? Every time you release, these fibers rub against each other at incredible speeds. Without a natural-based lubricant like Tex-Tite, this internal friction would literally "cook" the string from the inside out within a few hundred shots. Wax acts as both an internal lubricant and a waterproof jacket for your string.

Recommended Accessories

To round out your maintenance kit, we recommend adding an arrow puller for easier target retrieval and arrow lubricant to ensure your shafts glide out of targets smoothly. Also, consider a dedicated accessory pouch on your quiver to keep your Bohning wax handy at all times on the range or in the woods.
