Wax Removal

[silentbutdeadly]

So I've been surfing for 30 years and just came to the realization that sticky bumps wax remover is a game changer. I feel like such an idiot. It works so much faster with far less effort. Just thought I'd share to those than don't know. For those that did, this is for wasting your time:

those deadlifts are really paying off, bro girl!

Works better than goo gone?

I’ve only ever sticky bumped.

foam dust works really well too. Don’t scrape a boar before repair if you don’t need to. It’ll come right off anyway after you’re done sanding and the dust hit the wax. .

All of my goo is gone after looking at that picture for 37 seconds.

In my experience the surf specific ones like Sticky Bumps work a little better. They seem to be a little less viscous and don't leave a film like Goo Gone. That being said, I would assume Goo Gone is cheaper as they sell high volume and the difference isn't so noticeable. Just takes another step together the film off with a clean paper towel.

I think my bottle of SB cost me 8 bucks and based on how much I used on one board, even with my extensive quiver that thing will probably last me 5 plus years.

Dull razor blade is what the pros use lol sticky bumps and goo gone are alright but they leave boards greasy if you use too much! One of my favorite tricks is to use several micro fiber rags, one for each step just like detailing cars.

I use a plastic gift card and a shop rag. Clean as can be and ready for whatever SBD's chick can throw at it.

That is perfection!..

I think this fits. i just cracked a new bottle. funnily I bought it when I thought my last one would surely run out ~2yrs ago. Lol.

Last one barely had a label left (wax remover also removes labels). I think this is my third bottle in maybe 15yrs. I use up the most of it ripping up old tractions.

I admit I don’t use wax remover every rewax. hardly. But I do clean up the bottoms quite often bc I go 2 boars per slot in the rack and winter wax gets especially soft in the summer.

theres also the odd times I’ll remove tinted sun screen looking handprints on the nose rails if they irk me enough or I’m hiding from the wife and kid in the garage.

It seemed pretty residue free when I used the product but just to be sure I gave it a pnce over wipe with rubbing slcohol

After scraping off the bulk of the wax off of your board, there is no better product I've found for getting the rest off than good old WD40. It also gets rid of the staining that wetsuit gloves and boots leave. I prefer the liquid over the spray. A gallon is about $36 and lasts me a few years.

I just heat it up with a hair dryer, remove most of it with a wax comb and wipe the rest off with a paper towel.

Next time, put some WD40 on that paper towel. It doesn't take a lot.

guys we're trying to clean the board not create additional messes

 

[ReForest]

Has anyone used one of these or seen one in person?

I've been seeing ads come across my Insta but not sure if its a gimmick or not. Looks legit!
