Try wrapping the wire with teflon. No seriously, it works very well. Start wrapping on the short side and end in the middle, so that it won’t unwrap

Until it doesn't or has lube over top. Once you lube over it and it starts peeling, the stab becomes a mess.

Not worth it over using just lube imo

if you wrap it correctly (the start of the tape is covered by wrapping over it and you end in the middle, where there's no lube and doesn't grind against the stem since it stays still) there's no way it peels. Been good for the past 7 months which is light years ahead of whatever you can achieve with lube or any other mod. You could actually barely lube the stab and it would still sound fine.

I'm 100% sure I did it correctly wrapping it over the start. This is well documented in the thockpop discord which made this popular.

I tried using OWLstabs and it was peeling within a month after lubing. Switched to plugging with a syringe on Tx stabs and haven't looked back since.
