Surf wax is used on surfboards to increase traction and grip on the board while riding waves. Curb wax, on the other hand, is used on skateboard curbs to help reduce friction between the curb and skateboard wheels for smoother grinds and slides.
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**!

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.
Candle wax coloring can be in liquid or solid form. It is typically non-toxic and designed to be heat resistant to prevent discoloration when the candle is lit. The coloring should mix easily with melted wax and produce vibrant colors in the finished candle.
