Bohning Seal-Tite Bowstring Wax
Are you looking for a way to safeguard your bowstring from moisture and ensure it lasts as long as possible? Bohning Seal-Tite is a premium silicone-based wax specifically engineered for modern synthetic fibers like Dacron and FastFlight. Unlike standard waxes, its silicone formula allows it to penetrate deep into the string strands, remaining supple even in freezing temperatures. This wax creates an invisible waterproof barrier that prevents fraying and dehydration, which is vital for shot consistency and the safety of high-performance bows and crossbows. This maintenance wax is a staple for any dedicated archer. Its unique composition ensures the string remains lubricated without becoming overly tacky, which helps keep dust and debris away. It is perfect for compound bows, recurve bows, and modern high-velocity crossbows, where strings and cables are subjected to immense tension and friction. Packaged in a convenient 1oz tube (approx. 28.4g), Seal-Tite is the perfect companion for the range or 3D courses in the woods. Further product information ...

Maintenance and Application Guide
Before applying the wax, clean the string with a dry cloth to remove old wax and grit. Apply the wax directly from the tube to the main body of the string and cables. Then, rub it in thoroughly with your fingers or a piece of soft leather. The friction generates heat, which melts the silicone wax, allowing it to soak deep into the string structure. I recommend repeating this process roughly every 200 shots, or whenever the string appears dry or "fuzzy."
Things to Watch Out For:
- Avoid the Servings: Never apply wax to the center serving or the end servings. This could cause the string to slip or attract dirt into the trigger mechanism.
- Amount of Wax: The string should feel supple, not caked in a thick layer of wax, which can slow down your arrow speed.
- Storage: Do not leave the tube in a hot car during summer to prevent the wax from becoming too soft.
Pro Tip
Did you know that the silicone base of Seal-Tite is much more temperature-resistant than traditional beeswax? While natural waxes harden and crack in the cold, Seal-Tite keeps the string elastic even during winter training or cold-weather hunting. This makes it the go-to choice for year-round archers.
Recommended Accessories
For complete gear maintenance, I recommend adding an arrow puller for easier retrieval and arrow lube to maximize penetration. Also, consider a high-quality bow or crossbow case to protect your equipment from dust and moisture between sessions.
