Wax only the exposed string material, not the serving.

Wax only the exposed string material, not the serving. What about the knocking point? On mine, the serving is looking a little rough there. If you don't wax it, what can you do to take care of it?

I always waxed everything. I don't know if it's the right answer or not, but that's what I do.

A little wax at the nocking point won't hurt. The main reason you don't wax the other servings is to keep it from collecting in the cam tracks. Wax in the cam tracks is a magnet for dirt and debris.

For what it's worth, I don't wax the served portions and I use real bees wax.

Not sure about the bees wax, but with the material strings are made out of these days, it's best to use wax with silicone in it. I use the Bohning Seal-Tite on all of mine.

I use the Bohning Seal-Tite on all of mine. Same thing I use. Works great!
