Good advice all around.

Beeswax - if your ferrules are loose

Hard paraffin wax - if your ferrules are sticking.

I got my beeswax at an archery shop and the paraffin wax is a candle, like JC uses.

Have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day. And as they say here in north Texas: Don't BBQ naked! Wear the chef's apron !

Cheers,
