I have a Cari-bow Tuktu EX 2 piece and I was wondering what to put on the take down system. This model has the type that just pulls straight out and then you just match it up and push back in. I got it used a year or so ago and I just got to thinking I might want to put some type of wax on it but I was thinking bow string wax may be too sticky.

The danger with wax is that it can attract and hold grit, which can cause the joint to jam up.
I would just polish it up periodically.

I am a hobbyist on woodworking and metalworking.. so have used wax here and there for stuff.
String wax would be a NO- it never hardens up. FDP nailed it.
I have used auto wax on stuff where I wanted a super light lube...carnuba wax or whatever, it seems to form a very hard and light coat + it polishes! I suspect maybe that was FDP's idea as well.

Ear wax and rub it in and polish it in. Good protection. I use on strings sometimes too.

Why not contact Abe and ask him? He'd probably give you the best advice.

Abe’s son said wax it. I just used string wax but toilet wax is probably better.

Maybe just a small dab of white lithium grease rubbed on the sleeve connectors.

What about something like silicone oil. I mean the super fine stuff like used in old race car carburetors. It’s super slick and a drop or two goes a long way. Of course keeping it away from the bows finish is understandable.

Would powdered graphite, like hobbyist model makers use, work for something like that? Virtually no scent, and a little goes a long way. Just thinking out loud.

Guys, I hope you take this well.. just having fun:
Wow! Toilet wax. What will they think of next? I loved the idea so much I just pulled my toilet up and grabbed some today.
Benefits: The color matches the brown handle on my bow perfectly. I am pretty certain this will help mask my scent in the woods. Still sticky as s_ _ _

Take a look at Abe's web site. Bee's wax worked great on both my Tuktu EX and my Slynx. Abe recommends lubricating annually.
