Quick Question about wax

[LovintheSurf]

So im outta wax, and im going surfing in 6 hours. Its like 1 a.m. here and im going at 7 am. Heres the problem i have wax on my board, but i dont know if its gonna hold up, luckly i found a half bar of BASE wax. So i was wonderin can i just put the base wax on top of my regular wax if need be. Sorry, its probably a dumb question, just wonderin

base wax is harder so it'll probably smear the wax underneath instead of going on.
you could use a wax comb on existing wax on board or take it all off and use base wax
i don't buy into all that base wax and top coat crap
not needed
just getting you to buy twice as many bars
use the right wax and you'll get bumps that won't dissapear

scrape off all the wax, rol it up melt it a bit then put it in the frezer, then use the bass coat, then making sure the old wax is a lump not bits rolled together use it like a normal bar, iv done it once and it sortof worked

So what did you do?


I don't buy into the base coat / top coat thing either. Just get the right temp. and be done. And get a few bars at a time; which will give you more time/chances to remember to pick up more.


** I don't recommend re-using dirty wax. That just sounds like a bad idea. **

i was gonna say
sounds like a lot of trouble what with the scraping and the heating and remoulding
just beg borrow or steal

i was desperate for wax at the time, i was sliping all over the board, but now iv got a spare bar in the poket of my board bag

hey thanks everyone for the answers. i just ended up going out with the wax that was left on my board, it was a bit slippery but not so that i couldnt ride it.
