Waxing the String

[UTGrad]

I always used the little leather patch included with my Scorpion Venom wax but lately I've simply rubbed it in with my fingers and I believe it does a better job.

Anyone simply rub in string wax with your fingers? I do lightly wrap dental floss around the string and pull off the excess.

I use my fingers and leave the excess.


Big or small, kill em all

With the newer synthetic waxes that have this and that in them I just simply rub into the string with fingers and leave excess on. When I build trad strings I use bee wax to help the bundles stick and rub with leather after twisting to heat the wax up a little so it penetrates better. But to your question honestly its just personal preference.

Next time you wax the string, try rubbing it in with a piece of brown paper bag. Apply wax, fold the paper over the string and rub quickly.
It heats up fast and just seems to get the wax in much better.

Put in on with my hands and use hairdryer to melt wax in the strings
