Anybody have a good recipe for sub-50 degree wax? Thank you. Hey GW try the search engine. Seems like about a year or so there was a thread about making your own wax, with a website listing the needed materials.
just use chewed bubblegum…its nice and sticky…and its fun chewing it. http://http://www.noseriding.com/pages/skipFrye.htm
just use chewed bubblegum…its nice and sticky…and its fun chewing > it. I got all the crappy bits and bobs of my old cold water wax, half a new bar, and then just added a bit of vaseline, and chucked it in the microwave, in a container until it melted. It tasted like sh*t, but stayed plenty sticky on the board, in the midst of winter. Get cooking!!! Peaman
Obviously I still have more questions than answers. Maybe I will try to track this guy down to id the mystery components. Anyway here’s what I have so far: Start with Parafin 70% Calcium carbonate (I guess that’s chalk?) 30% then petroleum jelly, more for cold water, less for warm water. The ratio wasn’t stated. Additionally, micro-crystalline(?) to reduce flaking, clay, baby powder and bees wax also came up in the discussion. Of course wax scents and coloring for those of us subscribed to Martha Stewarts Living. Cook on very LOW and pour into a cup cake tray. If nothing else, I have a much better appreciation for why they say “do not eat or chew”! Hey bubble gum guy, if you don’t know the answer at least make me laugh. That was perhaps the weakest irreverent response ever!
