Can you use paraffin wax on a snowboard?

Answer 1

Totally. Just treat it like you would with hot wax made for snowboards. It actually works quite well, but it does wear off faster than specialized wax (my theory: no big deal- it's cheaper regardless, I'd rather spend my money on a lift ticket). All of the fandangled specialized wax is totally expensive and unnecessary not needed except for comps. To do this iron the wax and scrape it to a thin film. It can take quite a few treatments to saturate the base.

Answer 2

Yes you can it is the same as the wax that the snowboard shops sell for allot less money. The only difference is that they remove 5% of it and and there 'yellow or red race formula' it is a good alternative if you short on cash. Hot wax it in with any old iron

ANSWER:

Yes you can! It can serve as alternate for those branded wax.

Answer 3

No, surf wax is for grip on the deck of a surfboard.

Snowboard wax is for speed on the bottom of a snowboard.

They do opposite things.

ANSWER:

Don't think so, never tried it too.

Answer 4

You can, but it wont be nearly as good as using wax that is made for skis. The wax made for skiing/Snowboarding is especially designed for th cold weather. Plus hockey wax is likely to make it not as slick on the powder as regular wax. But if you have no other wax then you could indeed use hockey wax i would use it sparingly and only if there are deep gouges in the ski or snowboard.

Answer 5

Candle wax can cause your board to stick to the snow. You can make homemade snowboard wax though. See the related link below for a full set of instructions.

Answer 6

Yeah. I guess that would be fine. Still snow is made of water.
