Surfboard wax appliance?

Question

does anyone refrigerate their surfwax before waxing the board? just wondering, how long do I need to chill it to get the best result and consistency? Thanks

Answer 1

ive never refridgerated my wax.  if its too soft i dunk it in the water, if its still too soft i go for a warmer water wax.  try putting down layer of basecoat to start and you should be fine with room temp wax.

Answer 2

Never have i done this! sounds a tad weird!! think of your surf wax as chewing gum!! the harder it is!! the more it peels off harder to stick to the board! whereas when the gum is soft (warm) the stickey it is!!

Just make sure you get the right amount over the board on where you are going to stand and put your hands!! dont completly over do it! as this can get rather slimy!!

Have a good surf out!!
