SNIP Why not try paraffin as Bill Barnfield suggested in a similar thread some time back? Easier to get rid of if you don’t like the results.
Re using wax instead, I think BB was talking about doing faux fin fillets. SNIP Ever tried
to sand wax?

Just to be clear… My suggestions for using wax was only meant for temporary R&D design changes. It wasn’t intended as being ideal for permanent design alterations.
Often a designer wants to know what the difference a particular change would feel like. But the time, cost and difficulty of making these changes discourages the designer and they find it way easier to simply guess or theorize on what the performance outcomes of those changes would be. This is really bad! Especially when it is so easy to actually KNOW!
Wax is a very quick, cheap and simple solution to this problem. Once the designer knows what the changes actually feel like or perform like. Then Bondo or standard fiberglass alterations are preferred for long term changes.
Regarding the smoothing of wax or “sanding” Mike mentioned, it is very simple to do with a hot knife or on warm enough days nearly any flat edged object can be used.
Getting the wax to stick may require melting it slightly. Just don’t get it too hot or delaminate the glass though.
