Steps for waxing your snowboard
- Clean the base of your snowboard with base cleaner, or a citrus cleaner.
- Drip the wax on your board using an old iron, but make sure to use snowboard/ski specific wax. If the wax smokes the iron is too hot.
- Smooth the wax out with your iron, spreading it evenly over the surface.
- Then you need to scrape as much of the wax of as you can using a scraper.
- Finish the job by using an abrasive pad to smooth out the wax using a tip to tail direction.
