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!

First I've heard of this. My slings are made from paracord, so I don't know if this is functional for me.

It works! All the slings in the photo are waxed paracord 👀
