How do you take the wax off an old surfboard? I just purchased an old board for $10 and would like to paint it and make a cool sign for my patio. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

There are a couple of ways to go:
Whichever way you go, be sure to put disposable drop cloths down under your board since the wax, when softened or liquified, can really leave a stain on your concrete floors if doing it in your garage or driveway. It's also a much less of a cleanup if you get the wax to a soft-state rather than a liquified state (believe me!). Also, you can go over it with orange cleaner available at any grocery or hardware store to get the very last bit of wax, since you said you were going to paint it. This is normally not needed when you are going to re-wax the board. And most of all...take your time. Bong, Lucky, any other ideas to add? Hope this helps. Surfin'CaddyDaddy |
