I've been useing chapstick for years. I lightly coat them periodically,have'nt had any problems.

A sharpie works too and doesn't build up in your quiver.

Spray product called "Slide All" by Elmer's.

Chapstick. Cheap, easy to use, no scent to speak of and no mess.

All the methods mentioned work well. I use some of my string makers wax.

I'm in the Chapstick camp...but I've also used Vaseline. Either product works great.

Food grade silicone works great, I use it on fletching and it waterproofs them. I like the chapstick trick!

X 3 on Magnus' suggestion of coloring the edge with a sharpie. And no reflection from the edges while sitting in a stand with an arrow on the string.

I used to coat the edges with various things but it seemed to collect too much dirt. Now I just run the file over them occasionally if I get any rust forming.

Never heard of using a Sharpie, sounds like a good idea.

Thanks for the post. Wouldn't have thought about the Sharpie.
