For string making I use bees wax. For string maintenance, I use a purpose made string wax, like Bohning.

Beeswax works great...but then so does Parafin Wax...or any of the String Conditioners on the Market...I prefer Beeswax and a Hair Dryer myself.

I use bees wax from a local bee keeper .... he gives me a block when I go to buy honey.  Works wonders..
