@neandrthal, I really like your slings.
In the tutorial, you coat the paracord with wax before twisting the strands together. Is that pure beeswax, or do you recommend another type of wax? Thanks!

For what it's worth, my way too detailed experimentation showed that a 50/50 mix of paraffin wax and Beeswax is best. Adding in half the weight of the wax in balsam terpentine makes it much easier to apply
