Narcissism Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 So i'm sitting here tuning up my snowboard, melting wax into the base of the board so i can scrape it off. Basically, as everyone knows, p-tex is what the bottom of skies and snowboards are made of. P-tex is a plastic that works well under high heat and friction. Anywho, P-tex has pores in it. So what do you to to get rid of pores in anything? You wax/polish it! That way, the wax fills in the holes, thereby reducing friction and allowing you a nice easy smooth ride down the hill. You have to scrape excess wax off with a straight edge in order to achieve a smooth finish though. So i got to thinking about grainfilling... And then i noticed a thread where someone was using bees wax on top of a polyurethane finish to make it look nice and smooth and slick. Soooooooo... can i use wax as a grainfiller? Or does Polyeurethane have the same properties as clay glaze where it'll just avoid all the areas that the wax is... crap, this sounds like a bogus idea lol. Either way, what do you all think?

dpm99 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Wouldn't it melt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Plus, I don't see any finish sticking to wax, so that would be the only product you could use on your guitar. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Wax will act as a resist and all of the finish will bead off of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
