    Anyone ever have a problem with bringing wax in a carry on while flying internationally or should i just stick it in my board bag?

    May sound kooky but sex wax fits great in these guys you can stick 2 or 3 and then stack halves of sticky bumps or basecoat and then stick it in carry on or boardbag

    While it does look like a small block of C4, and you would think TSA officials would question what it is, I've never had a problem having the wax in my backpack. might be safe though to put it in your boardbag. why take the chance...

    I dont want my board bag to get weight on top or side or whatever, and have the wax create a pressure ding. i think i will just go for it... if they need to they can take it out and sniff it.

    Telling airport officials to sniff it sounds like more trouble than just putting it in you boardbag.

    The best way is to strap the bars around your mid-torso with an ammo belt or something that will hold lots of it. To make sure the wax doesn't fall off the belt stick a bunch of multi-colored wires into the bars, lacing them all together. I also find it's best to put some king of button or circuit board right in the middle of your chest.

    Finally, grow your beard out. You'll be fine....

    E-rock he might as well just swallow them whole and hope to puke them up before having any digestive issues. Mule style.
