sorry this isnt up there with all the heavy threads,but Im working on a repair/mod of an old board which has a heavy buid up of wax on the deck, just how do you get it all off so you can glass on it again

hairdryer until it melts, then scrape off.

That's if your wife has one.

the board has lived in the sun for a year and the wax is crunchy!!!!
I willhave ago at some of the suggestions tommorrow,after work
the board Im making wasa a pointy one with 3 fins , but Ive cut it down to make a boogie board so I can have one at the beach as well

ive shaped a hollow into the nose and reshaped the remaining fins.
then just ban the kids from using it

plan is to have it nearby when doing other glassing jobs so all the little leftovers of resin can be used to fill and cover it.hate to see a board go to waste.
when I use the kids boards they seem soft and floppy , so I thought why not a stiffer board with a couple of small fins.
Am i gonna get hurt by doing something silly?

Scrape excess off with barbie scraper or wax comb.
Boil Kettle.
dribble over remaining wax and use a green and yellow dish scourer thing-o and remove the last of it.
voila.

yes , but you'd need a wave for that round here we are more your brown water ,jumping off the bank into a dam type body surfers

more like this, water fresh this weekall the yabbies are out and hungry

found turpentine was good on old wax!

I left it out on a 38degree day then scrapedwith a big chisel and paint scraper.
once the big stuff was off the turps was brilliant. then I finished with acetone

Wot?? The kukris wasn't sharp enough???? Ooooohhhh, I forgot. Each time a kukris is drawn from it's scabbard, it must also draw blood.

I told you acetone would work.
