Here is a PDF manual put out by KUU Sport that I have used in the past for reference. It also goes into edges and base repair.

Thanks for going to the trouble to make those videos, Snowolf. Those were awesome. Now I've got no trepidation on waxing my new board.

You`re very welcome; it is great to hear that has helped you out and made you ready to do your own waxing. It will save you a lot of time and money.
I am no video guy so they are a bit "home movie" quality but this is such a straight forward thing to do. I was intimidated at first until I watched a guy wax a board then I was off and running.

This is a great thread. It got even better once monkey porn was mentioned!

Yeah it was a pretty helpful video. I grabbed some supplies from a buddy and waxed down my old board. Not difficult to do at all. I will have to read into all the other maintenance and binding adjustability.

Great thread! There's a board shop near me that does waxing for $10, and since I have an extruded base, I wouldda just gone to them every 5 times i rode to get 'er waxed, rather than doing it myself, but it looks so easy!... I just wouldn't know when to stop scraping...

ooh, and about Bindings, how tight should one tighten the screws? I'll prolly assemble my setup this week cuz I hear we're getting some snow this weekend, but I've always taken my board in to get assembled and waxed...

Just moderately tight. Kind of rotate your tightening sequence also so you don`t put all that stress on just one insert. Snug em all down, then go back to the first and tighten more untill all are tight (just hand tight with a screw driver and be carefull not to strip out the head of the bolts)
