Question

I didnt get a expensive one all i got was a plastic one but not like the walmart ones it just like the good ones but its plastic and i was wondering how i could wax it and can i use a home candle to wax.

Answer 1

Using a regular candle does not work very well for waxing a snowboard. You can find snow wax at most sports stores. You start by making sure the base is clean then using an iron on low drip wax all over the board. You dont have to use too much as  it will spread out. After you have dripped the wax use the iron to spread the wax evenly over the whole base. Let he wax dry then scrape off the excess using a piece of plastic or medal that is about the width of the base. Take a sponge or brillo pad and go from top to bottom a few times to smooth out the wax. Now your ready to ride.
