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.

Melt 100 grams of paraffin wax together with 10 grams of beeswax, add four tablespoons of vegetable oil. Let it set at room temperature, not in the fridge/freezer.

It's all the same. Lean into it / push it & stop being a baby.

A more serious question: how to remove wax on coping? One day I've seen a guy with a "coping poop remover" tool, but I have no idea where he found that.

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.

Alot of you guys need to fuck off. A BIT is cool.

in my experience the cheapest candle you find will be infinitely better than branded "skate wax".

uhh a candle from the dollar store

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.

Ledge Butta from Consolidated for sure!

pretty much same as gulf

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.

Murge · « **Reply #17 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

DanTheDoucher · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2019, 08:14:13 AM »

Using Spitfire wax currently. Seems to work pretty well, no better or worse than other brands.

SneakySecrets · « **Reply #19 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?

botefdunn · « **Reply #20 on:** May 22, 2019, 09:25:26 AM »

I'm changing my answer. Gotta be Flix-o
