How much wax does it take to hot wax a snowboard?

Question

I've never waxed my snowboard, and i'm looking at wax, and they sell in different amounts (5 oz, 3/4 lbs, ect). Lets say I bought a 3/4 lb brick. How many waxes would that get me? How much does it take each wax? Thanks ahead of time!

Answer 1

It doesn't take alot to wax your board. Probably an ounce or two. I gather up what I scrape off and reuse it the next time I wax my board so it goes a long ways. 3/4 of a lb would probably do about 10 waxes, depending on how thick you put it on. 5 oz would do 3-5 times.

Answer 2

Just a rough estimate since I don't have a scale, but it looks like my last wax job took about 1 oz of wax.  I ride a big board, and tend to use a little too much wax.  So a 3/4 lb brick would be about 6 waxes.
