Title: Favorite brand of skate wax? Is all wax the same?
Post by: Torre on May 20, 2019, 12:00:38 PM: Hi as the title says, name your favorite brand of skate wax, unless you think skate wax is all the same and just comes in pretty colors and cool shapes.

Not only does it work well but it doesn’t chip up and end up smashed into your griptape.

I usually use a card from my wallet I don’t care about to scrape it off.

Post by: cosmicgypsies on May 21, 2019, 04:09:16 AM: in my experience the cheapest candle you find will be infinitely better than branded "skate wax".

Post by: ChuckRamone on May 21, 2019, 12:42:40 PM: I bought a cheap candle once and it just fell apart into little pellets when I tried to wax a ledge with it. so I’d say not all wax is the same. they must mix some candles with other stuff. lately I’ve been using the big candles they sell at the drug store. gotta admit though that some of that skate wax that’s really hard and goes on smoothly is nice to use.

Post by: FROTHY on May 21, 2019, 03:58:55 PM: FYI snowboard wax kind of sucks as skate wax. It's also expensive, but I could see others using it in a bind, as was my situation.

Post by: Murge on May 22, 2019, 07:32:13 AM: Gulf wax. I’d feel like a tool buying anything else. One box will last you forever

Post by: DanTheDoucher on May 22, 2019, 08:14:13 AM: Using Spitfire wax currently. Seems to work pretty well, no better or worse than other brands.

Post by: SneakySecrets on May 22, 2019, 09:24:02 AM: Didn’t they only allow waxing with the inside of a Slurpee cup at EMB back in the 90’s?

Think I remember someone talking about that in an interview. Anyone actually try this?
