Good ol' Mr Zogs

Just given my board the best wax job I've done. Way from perefct, but got the little beads of wax. Used X cold to cold and cold to cool Sex wax and I felt the cold to cool was harder than X cold??? It beats having two inches of thick mess, after scraping the wax off I had a mega ball of old wax. I think I'm going to call him Wilson like good old Tom Hanks

You should put it on ebay see what you get for it lol

LOL

I love creating a perfect wax job on my board. Hate removing the old wax though. The Warmer temp wax will be harder than the colder temp wax. E.g Cold Water Wax = Soft Wax, Warm Water Wax = Hard Wax

You should have used the Cold to Cool as your base coat, and then the Extra Cold to Cold on top. But I dont think it should matter too much as the sea is about 17c which is ideal for cool water wax.

im using zoggs basecoat as a basecoat and cool wax on top, will be changing to a cold wax top coat in a month or two probably tho

[Laguna]

Were did you get the 'base coat' from? I couldn't find any to buy, not even online. I wanna try some 'famous' surf wax too, heard thats good and you can also get a basecoat for that.

Oh and have you noticed you can only get crappy quick humps in South Wales?I aint seen any Original Zogs.

LOL there is a shop my way with a similar vibe, if your blonde with big tits in a bikini they give you everything on the house, but being a bloke who is learning and doesn't live on a flat in the dunes then "I go there to buy piss off"

I got the wax from Big Wednesday down in Cornwall over the net though.

I read a page saying to put your hardest wax on first then the softer one. Having said that, I read one saying to keep your wax in the fridge then another saying to keep your wax warm by pouring warm water on it?!?!?!?

[Laguna]

Ye Big Wednesday is good cause its free p&p but they only have cool - tropical water wax. How did you get yours?
...and ye its hardest wax as the basecoat. I aint heard of putting it in the fridge to keep cold and pouring warm water on to keep hot. The temp refers to the sea temp.

i dont like the guy who runs the place, he doesnt give a xxxxx about surfing he just wants to make money, i know lots of people whove gone in there asking advice and been sold gear completely inappropriate for their ability (and more expensive than what they should have got). And hes a grumpy flesher.

I don't bother with a base coat. I just use the appropriate temperature wax. Put it on inside in a cool room (not too warm/hot). You don't need to keep it in the fridge, but it might help if the air is too warm where you are applying the wax.

Don't pour warm/hot water on it. Bad idea...bad...bad...bad. The wax will get all melty and just smear across the board.
