the many, many uses for surf wax

Post by Squidlips » Tue Jul 07, 2009 5:35 pm

I found myself scraping the surf wax off my board and using it to plug my ears from the bitterly cold wind at the weeknd. :shock:

Got me thinking at how versatile the good ol stick of wax is :idea: ...

made fishing lures out of it, by molding it around the hook

used it for temporary didge mouth peices

once used 2 blocks of palmers to seal a leaking spa in lombok so me and the misses could enjoy some fizzy action :!:

what other uses have you found for the humble bar of wax?

I've had a piece of wax covering a hole on my car headlight for a few years now. Mrs Palmers or something similar. works good.

Whack a cake of sexwax in your clothes drawers for sweet smelling clothes!

Goes great dripped liberally on nipples after being thoroughly heated.

i have one in my undies/socks draw. smell was a secondary consideration -- it's the top draw and easiest to grab.

a visiting canadian friend told me they use to use sexwax for skateboarding to wax up rails and curbs for grinding, or whatever it's called.

Hope you have a spare.

(You do mean waxing your key to your board dont you?)
Wish could wax key to board, now there's a thought to make them stick, probably would be okay jammed into a finbox :shock: .

no I meant any keys, and no, it's not a good idea, too much is not a good thing, thought my BiLock wasn't going to come out :shock:

SA rep for Stick It told me last week, no word of a lie, that somewhere in the region of 30% of surfboard wax is bought as a fashion accesory. Kids use it in their hair because it smells nice and holds a do. :?

Repairs little dings (smaller than your pinky nail).
If it feels good, do it.
