I use sex wax,I know they have 3 different compounds warm and cold water.
I only use warm water even in winter,what do you prefer
Sex Wax Tropical as a base coat and then dependent on how cold it is down here Sticky Bumps or Mrs Palmer cool, or cold.
Love a good wax job 
You're on a roll tonight,did you raid my car? i use the same wax, any way back to watching The Seedling for the 100th time.
As a young kid coming from a poor family I would use/steal mums candles and wax my board.
I just ran out of winter wax I got in a box of 10 off sanctum for $8 2 years ago. I like it, it smelt nice...luckily my order from surfstitch of cold water Mrs Palmers arrived yesterday that I paid 0.68c a block...I generally just go with whatever I can pick up cheap, should be right until next years winter sales

Sealing wax for preserving jars was all we could get when I started , from a poor family also 
These days it's sticky Johnson wax 
Dunno how old you blokes are but does anyone remember the BP surf wax you'd get from the servo,
Bring back strawberry wax!!! Left a cake of it on the floor of my Beetle one day back in the 70s- melted all over the carpet (Beetles had heater vents running along box sections under the doors). Smelt good though. That stuff was sooo hard.

I remember strawberry fields
Sounds like theres some new waxes out on the market. Never seen or heard of Cream or tree hugger. Don't use it much these days and only have only to wax the front of the board. I've got half a block of Mrs Palmers that lives in the bottom of my wettie bucket.
cheers SP,plus i like robbie page
With Cream wax no need for a base coat of anything different, just rub it on until the bumps form, job done!!

Cream I not a fan,its too grippy and the smell makes me sick after a while
Sure it was the warm you tried? I know the cool/cold is very grippy in northern waters, boardies want to stick to your car seat afterwards
Gorilla Grip. Big round block sold in wax paper. Now I chase sex wax if it's available or Mrs Palmers.
Ted,
How is it in Indo ?
How's that road going ?
Is it true you are growing copious amounts of weed ?
Can not hijack a thread Scotty but all going well. No weed being grown but plenty of weeds been burnt off
Barking Dog forms beads really well
Yes Richardo I remember BP wax..and Ampol..they were paraffin wax in paper containers bought at the servo
And what about..Mothers Milk...due to some whining by the PC girls they had to take it off the market..
Cream by far the best wax...can't believe you blokes are still using warm water wax rubbing wax on in the morning down here is like scrapping a brick

You were lucky!! We were too poor to afford candles!!
We used to dig the wax out of the neighborhood dogs ears with a rolled up piece of borrowed newspaper ,
put it in an old baked beans can and light the newspaper underneath so we could melt a good block and keep us warm!
And when we were done we would use the charcoal ashes to brush our teeth!
Ohhh candle wax!!! We could only dream of such luxury!!!

candles were used for when our power was cut due to no paying the bill.
