Cleaning the Bottom of a board

[dolfn]

Hi,

Has anyone ever heard of using furniture polish to clean the bottom of a board.

I keep all my boards in bags and as you can imagine, although I always put them in the same way, wax eventually gets on the bottom of the the boards.

I mate of mine up the coast recons he uses Mr Sheen to clean and polish the bottom of his boards.

Does anyone else use any kind of furniture polish to clean and polish the bottom of their boards to keep them nice and clean and slick?


Cheers

Hey Dolfn,

Just go to your nearest factory and ask for a bag of Foam dust . Nothing works better to remove the wax. Grab a handful and rub it on , the wax gathers in balls of the dust .....hey presto !

I've used orange oil. Good for getting all the wax off and also good for removing the goo if you take a tailpad off. The stuff I had was for oiling guitar fingerboards, but you can buy stuff called "de-solve it" at hardware shops that is similar apparantly.

Also heard from a local shaper that there is an auto solvent you can get from any carshop that is good for getting wax off, but I can't remember it's name.

"Prepwash", from the likes of Supercheap Auto or Repco, and shaping dust is the pro combo, for dingfixers on the move.

Just don't scrub super harshly...the stuff is a mild solvent and would eventually move paint too, if you wanted.

Dolf- The local shaper might become suddenly more possessive of his dust if you say "I dig epoxy sandwich..."

Orange oil is good too.

Clean then Mr Sheen if you like.
