How to make a plastic wax scraper ?

You looking to make a scrapper? Go to the hardware store, ie. home depot or lowes or such and buy a piece of 1'4" thick plexiglass. They will usually cut it to size for you ( I know lowes will) You will want it aobot 2 inches wider than your tips, so you dont slip and shredd the wax or base. About 4 " tall for a nice feel and hold in yor hand. If you are working on huge pow fatties see if they have 3/8" plexi glass... go for it as it wont flex and concave the wax coated base. But 1/4" will usually work fine in all situations.

does the peice of plastic or wahtevr have to be angled at one end like a spade kinda thing to scrape up wax or can it be flat over the whole peice
 
Thats what i used this year, worked perfectly fine. But im deffs picking up a scaper this season haha
 
Ignore all the fucking droolers telling you to use anything metal. You should really only use a metal scraper to scrape a base repair.
 
The general consensus is that unless you're racing, use a universal wax, people might advise differently for summer but I'm not sure
