wax and an epoxy board

just keep waxing it , and build up a basecoat

 

Like suggested above use a base coat then wax away. What brand of wax are you using? Some waxes are known to wear off quicker than others.

 

Could be the deck had a film and or some residue on it. Of what I have no idea but I swear by Zog's (sex wax) Quick Humps. You might want to start over and get all the wax off, I use a hair dryer to warm up the wax. Once its all off use 409 something like it and a towel and give her a good buffing. When putting a fresh coat on straight back and forth strokes, not circular and not too much pressure. She should develop some bumps in no time and eventually turn into a busty beauty. Wax on wax off...

 

Leave in the sun for a few minutes or heat with hair-drier and scrape off the wax. Strip residue with Firewater or other wax stripper available in most surf shops. Re-wax with a basecoat then wax over basecoat with cool. Apply as SeaDaddy said.

 

are you using the correct temperature wax?

 

Is the board brand new?

I had the same issue with my Firewire. Seemed like the wax just wouldn't stick when I was applying it to the board. I just removed the wax and cleaned the surface. That should do the trick.

 

Rub the board down with a belt sander to give it a rough surface so the wax can grip

 

I think with the stiffness of epoxy and the difference in the temperature from your car heating it or even melting it, to the coldness of the water might be what makes it come off in flacks, I started using warmer water wax now, and a good base coat is key.

 

i have a epoxy board and this is what i did when i first bought it.
1. put a coat on.
2 stripped that coat off. after a hour or so of sitting on the board.
3. put down a base coat of sex wax quick humps. (i used the blue label as basecoat for summer and winter)
4. layed down a nice top coat of sex wax quick humps red label. (i did all of this at the begginning of the summer last year.)
5. if the surf is big i sometimes put sticky bumps on top of it all just for the extra stick. (which usually never happens during summer but defiently during winter.)
But you defiently want to use a basecoat every time you go to put new wax on. after you take all of the old wax off.

 

a good splash of urine between coats does the trick for me

 

I would say that it is quite evident from this statement why you were never able to learn how to stand up and surf.

 

Then run it over with your car and patch the dings with a hammer.


Sex wax basecoat. Basecoat is the only quality product they make, use a bunch of it. Make a thick cross hatch pattern wherever you want your wax. Then a bar of Mrs. Palmers. Which btw/imo is the best commercially available surf wax out there. Bumps is ok too. Rub it in circles, uhhh.... Sweet.

 

you can also use denatured alcohol to rub on the deck. it just cleans up the deck and makes the basecoat stick really well

same problem

I have an epoxy santa cruz and it does the same thing. I guess thats just how they are. hopefully wax prices dont take a hike

 

Hey I was just responding to a completely idiotic statement. Would you like to enlighten us to how your statement was constructive in anyway shape or form to this thread?
