Cold water wax?

Postby Bwgan » Tue Aug 01, 2006 5:38 pm

Just put some more wax onto the board, I'm getting into having it about an inch thick at the moment and I had to re-apply. I use Mrs Palmer cold water. Just a thought, but with it being summer now should we be using a warm water wax?

take it all off and use cool water wax, you can keep that on for the winter then and use it as a basecoat for your cold water wax come winter.
