SBOL Meet @ Mountain Creek

Thanks Branden.

Rub On Wax Test

Lub those sticks up for a quick fix. We tested out a few rub on waxes on the market.
Some rub-on waxes claim to be just as good as traditional hot wax, but in reality, they don’t even come close. Hot waxing lasts much longer than any rub-on alternative, which will last for little more than half a dozen runs or less in wet snow. But if you’re looking for a quick fix, or an extra glide boost to your skiboards, it might be a good idea go get some! We tested some out, and here is out take on them.

Zardoz NOTwax:

This actually, isn’t even wax, as you probably already guessed. It’s pure liquid Teflon! You get a little bottle of the stuff, and an applicator. The great part about this one is that you don’t need to buff after applying! The downside, it only work on sintered bases. This one was my favorite.

oneballjay Viper Paste Wax

Good deal for the money, 55g of highly fluorinated rub-on paste wax. The sponge applicator that comes with it, well, is total garbage, and it fell apart the first time I tried using it. But you can replace it with that old Line tee you were thinking of throwing out. Keep this one out of the cold because it turns into super thick paste that is really hard, but not impossible to buff and apply.

Test Pilot Mojo Wax

This smells more like candy than wax, but don’t try to eat it. This one comes as a spray, which works pretty well, and the 40oz bottle lasts pretty long. But if you leave it out in your car or outer pocket of your jacket, its going to freeze and be pretty much impossible to use. It also doesn’t come with any applicator, so you’re going to have to improvise to buff the stuff on your base. (Dirty socks work great!)

Test Pilot Race Past Sample Pack

This one actually is great for a quick fix! SBOL sells them for a buck each! This 2mL pack is good for one set of skiboards. Keep a couple of these in one of your jacket pockets, and the next time you forget to hot wax or bring rub on wax you’ll have an emergency lubricant to keep things nice and slippery.
