Skafars Neon Wax
Skafars Neon Wax
Unfortunately Skafars Wax seems to have gone out of business as they are no longer responding to orders. The inventory we have is what we will have until it's gone. I suggest trying Sakura Markers and using a little hand sanitizer to remove it quickly when you want to move the marker on your leader.
Skafars Neon Wax is a soft wax you can apply to your sighter material to make it more visible or to any tippet to turn it into a sighter. I dab it on with my thumb with a little side to side motion as I slide the leader along. It is exceptionally bright and will help you see a dull sighter a lot more easily at distance. You can also wipe it off easily with a cloth or with a few swipes of your fingers. I generally need to reapply it a couple of times a day to maintain brightness. The wax does not increase flotation so apply some Payette Paste as well if you want flotation.
Application tip: It applies best when you trap the tippet/leader between your thumb while the tippet is under tension. Do not have more than a mm of wax protruding from the tip of the tube when applying. When temperatures are cold it is wise to blow on the wax to warm it and make it soft before applying to the leader. If it is warm, put the wax under the water for a minute to harden it a bit. I carry a small towel with me to wipe the wax off my thumb or the leader.
