Wax Jobs!

Heeey guys!

Just wondering if people could write about how they wax their boards!!

eg: 1) I apply heavy horizontal and vertical layers first
2) Comb then repeat 1.
3) Apply wax in little circles then comb
4) apply wax in TINY circles!

I prefer this because the result is small raised tough bumps! great grip and looks nice and clean!!!

I use Ms Palmers Mighty Mounds Wax

I used to just do the circular motion thing.

Then I found this site.

I clicked on the waxing video (bottom right) and tried it the way it was suggested in the video. WOW, was I shocked at the difference it made. Now, I follow those video instructions to a tee everytime I wax down my boards.

Try it!
