Hey guys, looking at waxing my own board as a tune shop hot wax won't be available near me. What's the best universal wax? Also, someone had once said that using two waxes one all temp, one low temp at the same time was good? Any advice will suffice.
meh, to me, wax is wax. I'm currently using burton wax because I needed it in a pinch and the only store near me is the burton flagship store (got ripped off but meh). just get w/e cheap all temp wax and you'll be good. if your area runs really cold, get some flouro wax and do a second layer over the base layer.
Dominator makes great wax, arguably the best race wax out there. Burton wax actually is dominator wax. The owner is a super nice guy, we met him at the burton open a while back and my son would help them out as a "wax tech" any time they were in town for events.... we got lbs of his waxes for free...
We actually use Ass wax for our daily wax, if he was getting seriously back into SBX then we would probably go back woth dominator... we have used ass wax because the owner is a great guy/snowboarder And it is a decent wax as swix and hertel are....
I use the temp appropriate SWIX and then augment with a variety of fluoro powder overlays. When it warms up during the day I clean my base and wax again so that I have the correct wax on. I usually wax two or three times a day.
Got to drop it in for a stone grind over the lunch break for best performance. Go through a few boards a season, but it's worth it for that glide on the flats.
Seriously, kids: you gotta be careful with those fluoro overlays. A few years ago in my workshop I mistook some spilled fluoro for leftover party supplies and succeeded in waxing my nostrils to the point that I didn't get any boogers at all for about three months.
I use the Hertel RC wax as my everyday do everything wax.
Ive talked to the guys over at Tognar who carries an assortment of waxes. His opinion is that you cant beat the Hertel RC wax for the money. He recommended the RC wax over Dominator and many others, and so far I havent been disappointed.
On a more serious note, in my experience both Burton and Hertel are good, with perhaps a slight advantage to Hertel. Not mindblowing, but good.
