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

The interaction between wax paper and water is more related to adhesion than cohesion. Water molecules are attracted to the wax molecules in the paper, causing the water to spread out and stick to the surface of the paper. This adhesion is what makes water bead up or stick to wax paper.
The surface tension of water causes it to bead up and resist being absorbed by the wax paper. This occurs because the cohesive forces between water molecules are stronger than the adhesive forces between water and wax paper. As a result, the water drop appears to sit on the surface of the paper without sinking.
Soy candles generally tend to cost more than traditional wax candles due to the higher cost of soy wax compared to paraffin wax. However, the price difference can vary depending on the brand, quality, and size of the candles. It's best to compare prices from different brands to find the best option for you.
# the bonds between the ATOMS in a single MOLECULE of candle wax -- the C-C bonds and the C-H bonds -- are very strong (both between 330 and 360 kJ/mol) depending upon the particular molecule. In contrast, there is no chemical bond between one MOLECULE of candle wax and another MOLECULE of candle wax. There is a weak attractive force between one MOLECULE and another MOLECULE (about 1 kJ/mol). This is due to the movement in the electrons in one molecule movement of electrons in neighboring molecules (the name for this attraction is "van der Waals forces"). Although the molecules are tangled, the attraction between them is weak. A fair analogy is a bowl of hot wet spaghetti. Each strand is strong, but the strands can slide by one another rather easily. This is why waxes are soft and have low melting temperatures. The wax molecules can slide by one another. Some waxes are harder/softer than others depending upon the length of the carbon chain (longer is harder) and branches in the carbon chain (the more branching is harder up to a point).

No
yes
skate wax is less mesy than candle wax
no because the sun will probably melt the wax which will then just make it sticky
Here is a site that talks about surfboard waxing and how to do it www.surfscience.com/topics/learn-to-surf/.../how-to-wax-a-surfboard , or this site that shows you how to wax the surf board www.wikihow.com/Wax-a-Surfboard
To be stupid, one is cold and the other is warm, but to be smart the cold wax may be stiffer and harder to spread, while the warm wax will be easier to spread but more slippery. If you use wax a lot try just use sing it at room temperature. It should work! ;)
The difference between a wax and silicone treadmill lubricant is that a silicone lubricant will last a lot longer. Soft wax is the most commonly used and cheaper than silicone.
warm water and wax comb
they put some melted wax on it before they surf so the don't fall of when they are surfing.
Soft wax is better, for it molds to the shape of the rail. Not too soft though. and hard wax will take for ever to start get the rail slippy
