base oxidation

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   i have a burton hero that i used 2 times so far and the base looks very dry and has a bunch of white spots near the edges on the base. the first time i rode it with factory wax and the second time i got a quick 10 second wax job. does the whiteness mean my base is oxidized and i need a base grind or i do i just need a good hot wax?

	Just hot wax it and the white spots will dissappear. That white spot/line dry look is how alot of us guage whether it needs a waxing or not.

	Most likely you just need wax. Try the wax before you pony up the money for a grind, definitely. Sintered base means higher maintenance. Belt waxes (what I'm assuming you mean by "quick 10 second wax") are useless. Pony up for iron waxes or pick up your own equipment.
	ROLL ON, BISHES.
