wax questions

[EthicRocks]

making your own wax is the best, you can decide how slippery you want it and what colour and all that shit

I tried that but I messed it up

how? look it up on youtube for some instructions and it should be easy

I did and screwed it up

But what happened? Maybe you used too much oil or butter.

I just guessed how much you should put in

once a friend of mine made wax with a ton of oil unintentionally

it came out wet all the time so it had to be carried in a ziplock haha and would always be wet, but it was slippery and nice as fuck to grind on when put on a ledge/deck

Mine was real soft it was slick but it was too weak

I like to buy candles and melt them onto curbs and ledges and stuff. I've only put wax on my deck once and it sucked.

wax works way better when you put it on the grinding surface you're going to grind and idk about melting

works perfectly fine if i wax my deck haha

Candle wax is essential. Things like cooking wax aren't soft enough to get a dense and even coating on the ledge. Instead of literally dripping candle wax onto a ledge, I find (and would recommend to anyone) that waxing the entire ledge beforehand, spraying it with a solvent/aerosol, sticking tissues to it, then lighting in on fire to be way more efficient. I've perma waxed quite a few ledges that way in my town, haven't gotten badgered yet...but it does look mighty weird for a second.

depends what deck you ride and what surface you're grinding
