If you mean the rosin, you take the rosin in your left hand and you move it up and down the bow hair.

What substance is used on bow strings?

Bow strings are often treated with a wax or lubricant to enhance their durability and performance. This substance helps protect the fibers from moisture and wear, reducing fraying and improving the string's lifespan. Additionally, waxing can help decrease friction between the string and the arrow, leading to better accuracy and smoother release. Common options include specialized bow string waxes made from beeswax or synthetic materials.


What is the purpose of the bow on a violin?

It vibrates the string by pulling it across the string. The hair on the bow has rosin applied to it making it sticky.


How do you re-string a compound bow?

To re-string a compound bow, you must first get the bow limbs to bend. The easiest way (and the safest) is to place the bow, with the string above the bow (it will look like a smile) in what is called a "bow press". Once the bow is in the press, it is pushed down to bend the limbs ("compressed"), causing the string to go slack; the string is now removed from the cams and the new string is installed. De-compress the bow and remove it from the press.The bow press can be somewhat expensive to purchase, so it may be best to take the bow to an archery shop and have the string replaced there. Due to the amount of pressure required to bend the bow's limbs, as well as the need to keep them bent while changing the string, attempting to restring a compound bow without the proper equipment is definitely not recommended.
