Rub on Wax vs Hot Wax

I would def go hot wax for sure. It spreads evenly and not clumps like rub on. 

Hot waxing is the cool thing to do. whip out that iron and go to town

I vote for hot wax, makes me feel like I'm working on a car. bumps some tunes while I wax her down lol

I always just take my board to the first resort I'm going to and have them wax the board. Iron on is the tits

Originally posted by sawjai526 I vote for hot wax as well! the wax fill the pores, so technically you cant really see it.

I have used Swix rub on wax-liquid form. This stuff works great for a few days. Not as good as hot wax but nice quick fix.

i have only used rub on wax and it isnt really that good. it clumps up and gets worn off way to easily. deffinitely trying hot wax this season

a cork? never heard that before. than again i always hot wax too. i find it tends to stay on longer

im going to try and wax my own board this year hopefully i can find a cheap iron

Rub on wax doesn't seem to do much for me, unless I haven't waxed in a while. I usually hot wax every 4-5 days of use, sometime more often if I'm riding long days.

whats the difference btw a cheap iron and a snow iron they both provide heat?

Rub on wax is only for my surfboards, hot wax is for my snowboards. Bottom Line. Its just an attempt from burton, nothing else.

hot wax for sure! Rub on wax is just way more annoying because all it does it make a mess and you aren't even sure if the wax is on correctly

When it comes to wax, definitely hot wax.
If a wax is "rubbed-on" using your hands, how well do you think it'd stay on the board being ridden down the hill? a lot more force is applied in removing it then applying it, making it pretty much useless.

As for waxing in a well ventilated area, I found it just fine to do it in a room with newspapers for easy disposal, and open windows for ventilation.

hot wax is the way to go if u got time. u actually get wax into the board and lasts way longer. only downfall is if u do it at home it gets really messy

Just take your time and remember that you can't scrape too much! :)

Hot wax all the way.  Rub on just doesn't feel right.

i used to rub on, but the wax comes off in one or two runs

I've heard the fast wax works pretty well, anyone tried it yet?

Buffing is a key step that shouldn't be skimped on.  It helps get down into the grooves of the base, and scrape out the extra wax.  Extra wax will just slow you down, so it's a good step.
