I’ve waxed my own string a couple of times and I’ve found it just catches and is too heavy, but I might’ve waxed it too much. You could put a bit of wax only on the end to precedent fraying though

I don’t, but a fair amount of people do and it looks quite nice :]

I’ve tried using wax but it’s a little tricky to get it right, so I’ve found im better off without it. You can try taping the ends of each string so it doesn’t fray as much though!

I tried it but it wasn’t something that I liked

I've never tried waxing my strings before but what I've found to be useful to stop fraying is just tying a small knot at the end of each string.
