Question

To body board, may I use candle wax to wax the board?

Answer 1

i'm with Kaye L on this one. let me know how it works out for you. after that, i think you should superglue the board to your chest--you shouldnt have any problems then.

Answer 2

I wouldn't recommend that at all. Just go to the surf shops and buy em, wax is cheap stuff. Some places may even give them for free to normal customers (some shops i frequent in hawaii give me a few bars of wax for free every time i visit)

regardless, candles are more expensive than surf wax so why waste your money? :P

Answer 3

no only a hot glue gun works best=)

Answer 4

No

Answer 5

No candle wax is to slick and will give you no traction. It will only wreck your board.

Answer 7

LOL! Go ahead and try it.

Answer 8

yea, you need to buy surf wax (sold at your local surf shop)

Mr Zogs wax is a name brand (a little more expensive), but its not any better than other surf wax, so i would just go for the cheap kind  :)

Answer 9

i'll give you something to wax

Answer 10

candle wax a way too high of a melting point to apply to a board and even use. Candle wax is going to be much to hard so it would be very hard to apply and it will only get harder in the water, so it wont give much traction. surf wax is made so that its soft at room temp and still sticky in the water

Answer 11

nar dude no way...go get sum s*x wax
