Answer 1

No! No, no, no... You need a special substance called 'rosin', that you get from just about any musical instrument store. Even a place selling guitars usually has the stuff.  It makes the hairs on your bow sticky, so that it vibrates on the strings. It comes in little 'cakes' about one inch wide and about one and a half to two inches long. It is not the stuff you get at hardware store.

Answer 2

Go to a sports store and get the wax they use for archery bows it works really good
