Just did the circle beads, good call on that one! The grip is unbelievable! It did take a while, tho the entire process was very zen like. Thanks!

[@hahafish1000]

Thanks for your video, it is so helpful! Not too many people talking about the base coat, but seems like this is most important step have to be done when you get into the water!

Circular beads look Hella nice! I've been waxing with the cross hatch method, so maybe it's time to shed it down and try this out 🤔

cool video.

[@charliebarton8881]

Can you do a video on how to take wax off a board and put on new wax?

[@wdkillpack]

Hoping to make another one soon

[@MaxwellMcKinnon]

Interesting i’ve never seen base coat recommendations this thick before. Does it make a difference to make it so thick with the base wax, a full bar on a new board?
I’m going to try this style, super thick base, we’ll see how it goes!

[@wdkillpack]

Essentially you just wanna make sure that you use enough of the base coat that the wax beads up on the board. That way the next layer of wax has something to stick to. It makes it easier to give your board a quick wax before each session as well.

[@stephenanderson8325]

[@nicespejo]

a decent longboarding waxing video 👌, question how long before you get on a new custom, shoukd you leave it for a while before riding

[@wdkillpack]

Do you mean how long you should wait to ride the board after you apply the base coat of wax? There isn't a waiting time you could ride it the same day.

[@goatmansasquatch1485]

@@wdkillpack how long does it last? You wax everytime you go surf? Thanks. Beginner here

[@colemarini6827]

If i surf in tropical climate, do I still want to use a different wax for the top coat? Or should I use only tropical?

[@wdkillpack]

You would still want to use a different wax for the top coat. Usually the top wax is rated by the water temperature. So all you have to do is match the water temp with the wax you buy.

[@calebrodriguez3465]

There's wax that is basecoat wax with a higher melting point but it's just isn't as sticky, sticky bumps has some
I surf the gulf of Mexico and I use the whole basecoat bar and then 4-5 layers of tropical on top
For reference I'm doing this with 9'1 and 9'6 boards

[@wdkillpack]

If you have any question feel free to ask! And if you have any other techniques drop them in the comments.

[@urineeman9195]

WHY CANT YOU POP UP !!!!

[@ronaldcachoo]

Do i need to do base coat if i surf warm water?

[@colinpeterson2408]

How big should the circles be

[@wdkillpack]

Sorry for the delay to this message. I would say 3-4in diameter circles would be perfect.

[@coreenecuneta4174]

I liked your technique better but I need a closer look how u did it (:

[@chokhachi]

Thanks

[@yorga_toe_theif2490]

I eat wax

[@wdkillpack]
