Gasoline to clean off wax

Postby SurferFreak15 » Tue Mar 07, 2006 3:55 pm

Yesterday I used a rag with dried gasoline on it to clean the leftover wax on it Then I washed my board off with water. Will gasoline in this small amount hurt my board, with even washing it with water.

use warm/hot water with some detergent in it to wash off the residue. Otherwise you'll have the benzine oily substance still on the board.

works fine for me too. engine degreaser works even better. but get it on quick & off quick just to be safe. I'd never leave it on a board for more than a min or two.

well if there are any cracks.....

ever tried feeding a bucket of gas with stryofoam??

(it makes napalm) :lol:

sweet stuff if you are a pyro, but I wouldn't want that to happen inside my surfboard.



and if legally I can get in any trouble for that, then...I dunno....just don't get me sued.

Serious. Napalm?????!!!!!!
Cool!

I use degreaser. Works better. it's literall wipe on with a cloth...and hose wash off with detergent & warm water 15 secs later. never hurt a board yet. And it's damm quick.

Hmmmmm... Now, how can I get Roy near enough to one of my boards to ignite :>!!!

mix in little shaved peices of white bar soap until it's really sticky, it works MUCH better and isn't as toxic
