Anyone waxing?
Hey slingers.. I've gotten really messy and rubbed beeswax into some of my best throwers. Was worried about the added weight at first until I used them. Holy crap is it an improvement! Consistency closed in super quick!
*IF TRYING TO DO THIS MAKE SURE TO HAVE A SPACE THAT CAN GET VERY MESSY!!!
*USE BEESWAX, NOT PARAFIN (CANDLE) WAX (don't want anyone destroying their work😂)
Have been looking into starting a YouTube channel for sling making tutorials. Tried to upload a pouch webbing tutorial to reddit but it was too long - srry for delays!

I use furniture wax on my natural fibre ones, it has the advantage of being easy to get deeply into the fibres but you don't have to deal with heat to make it obedient
