Most of these supplies can be found at your local board shop. Most waxing irons need to be put on order, so use a regular one on low heat. The Scotchbrite Pad can be found at Wal Mart
Start by preping your base and setting up your shop.The board should be at room temperture. Once that is completed and the iron is heated drip wax across the base of your board. The board need enough wax so the iron can slide. I usually drip about three to four lines across the length of the base. With a little bit of experience you know exactly how much to use.
Now you want to spred the wax using a iron. It is like putting butter on bread you want the whole surface covered. Keep the iron moving slow enough to melt the drops of wax. Split the board into four sections making section of liquid wax being careful not to over heat the board. Spread the wax from edge to edge until the whole base is covered.
The next step is to let the board cool down for 20-30 minutes. After cooling, using the scraper, scrape of all the excess wax left on the base. To do ths hold the scraper flush against the board tilted at a 45 o angle scape the wax until you can see no more. Allways keep the scraper flush against the board to avoid causing damage which is hard to repair.
The vary last step is to finish your wax job. Using the scotchbrite pad use a light scrubbing motion to remove the vary last bit of excess wax left on the board. A goodrule of thumb is the take your finger nail and run it across the base and if a little wax comes up you are done. The idea is to leave a thin layer to create good friction against the snow for optimum speed. You should wax your board every two to three days out on the slope.
