How to: Wax a snowboard ghetto style

waxing my Burton DOOM for the first time. First i cleaned the board then i loosened the bindings. I used a household iron but they sell waxing irons also, i used the low setting on the iron but check your wax. Drip the wax over the board then iron it out and spread the wax all over the board. Then scrape the excess wax off until there is barely any left. Last use a brush, brushing from nose to end.

would a surfboard wax scraper work?

@snowboardkid202 maybe if you had a big enough one

no offense but you used WAAAAY more than needed haha. go in a zig zag across your board and just iron it out so it covers the board. a little goes a long ways. save yourself some money

@cam21fr haha yeah when i was done there was a shit load of wax shavings, next time will be better hopefully, but i tore my acl on that trip so im cruising for now, thanks for the input

Do the holes in your iron make a difference compared to a flat non-holed iron?

[dirteReviews]

@stevey201 im not positive but i think a flat no holed iron would be better

you forgot to scrap the wax from your edges or did you?

[cam21fr]

@dirteReviews haha that blows. i broke my right ski and binding last friday so i have to wait 2 weeks til i get my skis back. i thought that was bad i can't imagine how shitty an cal must be haha
