SINGLE WAX OR BASECOAT/TOPCOAT?

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HARD & SOFT WAX?

Softer waxes will be:

• Stickier
• Easier to apply
• More likely to move or rub away at pressure points on your board

Harder waxes will be:

• Less sticky
• Somewhat more difficult to apply
• More likely to stay in place and not rub off

WHAT SHOULD A GOOD SURF WAX PROVIDE?

• Moderate to high levels of stickiness
• Stability Underfoot

WHAT IS A SINGLE WAX APPLICATION?

• A Single Wax Application is where only one formula of wax is used at a time.

WHAT ARE THE SHORTCOMINGS OF A SINGLE WAX APPLICATION?

• Increased Stickiness requires a softer wax which in turn will reduce Stability Under Foot.

SHOULD I CONTINUE USING JUST A SINGLE WAX APPLICATION?

• If Single Wax levels of stickiness and stability are adequate for your needs then there is no reason for you to switch to Basecoat/Topcoat combinations.

WHEN SHOULD I USE A BASECOAT/TOPCOAT COMBINATION?

• When you want to increase the stickiness you get with your single wax application without sacrificing stability.

HOW DO BASECOAT & TOPCOAT COMBINATIONS WORK?

• A harder Basecoat formula provides Stability Under Foot with a long lasting surface texture that can hold the softer Topcoat wax in place and prevent it from moving or rubbing away at strategic points on the deck of your surfboard.
• Once you have a firm Basecoat, your Topcoat wax can be much softer and stickier than anything you could use without a Basecoat.

WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR BASECOAT/TOPCOAT COMBINATIONS?

• A Basecoat must be sufficiently hard to remain stable at the current water temperature.
• You can use anything you want as a Topcoat wax as long as it is softer than your Basecoat wax.
