Surf wax makes your board or whatever sticky so surf wax is for sticking. Curb wax is normally used for sliding with grinds, so it's slippery.

Surf wax = sticky

Curb wax = slippery

There is no wax separately for curbs and rails. You could use wax for curbs or rails. Most of the time a rail doesn't need wax, because it's so slippery. But if you do use wax for a rail, you'll end up falling on your a**!

What is the difference between lye and wax?

Lye is the simple inorganic compound Sodium Hydroxide NaOH ... occasionally Potassium Hydroxide KOH is called "potassium lye" or "potash lye". A wax is an organic compound having between 20 and 50 carbon atoms arranged in a chain. The simplest petroleum waxes are alkane hydrocarbons called paraffins. The softest paraffin is C20H42, while C50H102 is a much harder wax. Natural waxes produced by plants and animals are more complex, and usually contain a few oxygen atoms along with a preponderance of carbon and hydrogen. For example, the main compound in beeswax is Triacontanylpalmitate and its chemical formula is C30H61CO2C15H31.


What candle burns out first an oil candle or a wax candle?

Generally more energy is in a solid versus a liquid, so a wax candle will have more energy than an oil based candle which means the solid wax candle will burn out last over the oil one. Actually, I can't think of a case where the reverse is true. And btw, wax candle has around 42 kJ/g with oil candle being around ~30 kJ/g (type of oil will make a difference here). tho' i agree with most of the above, the most important part of any candle is the oil/oil byproduct/animal fat or beeswax that it is made from! a wax candle will NOT burn until it heats up enough to dissolve into an oil - which occurs between 140-160 degrees! therefore, an oil candle and a wax candle burn out at the same time!
