You've got to add something.

I don't know what else you could use, but you might be able to find something out there that would work.

Hi Micho,

The Northern Light organic boardwax cold and cool water recipes contain pine resin to soften the wax for cold water, we originally got the idea from an old 1920's book which had ski wax recipes for climbing up the slope rather than sliding down it. The best resin is hand picked from the trees but rosin or distilled resinds will also work well, it doesn't have to be pine resin, any tree resin will do.

What book was this? Any chance you'd be able to come up with the title?

This could be difficult to get an answer, the thread is over 18 years old and none of the guys have posted anywhere else for a long time!
