Just a heads up.

In the past I've waxed single line CL lines-to prevent wear etc.

I waxed my Rev2 twin lines last week (dipping them in melted bees' wax)-after I waxed the lines I felt like something wasn't quite right-felt like they were too sticky and stiff-thought I'd just go with and see how they would go.

Went for a kite yesterday-bloody hopeless-the bar kept sticking on the centre lines, the cleat wouldn't grip the lines and the black sliding stopper won't slide-all leading to a comical time in the waves.

Got home and unscrewed the whole thing (including removing the blacks sliding stopper-which proved so difficult to get the lines back through-yep tried whipping twine to pull it through, some dacron on the tip etc.-just too difficult and left it off-never use it anyway) and dipped the lines in boiling water to remove as much wax as possible.

All up proved a waste of time-MUCH rather have lines wear out and replace them as needed than deal with a fugged up CL system.

Just a warning to others.

try teflon compound bow string wax- been using it on 3 diff revs cls last 2 years and been working well- no sand sticking, bar nice and smooth, no fraying or wearing out.

Wax is only good on the bridle lines to keep the pulleys turning , I have tried on the CL lines but moving the stopper was a disaster .

Jeeezzz....... how many times do I have to tell you guys, best stuff to use on your lines is silicon spray

To prevent the crappy fraying on the SS lines? Lines didn't need anything to improve slipperiness.
