well, im just wondering how to make my snowboard have a fluorescent orange base.

is it the graphics or the wax that makes the bottom of the other ppls board fluorescent
 
yeah, its the base... i used to have a k2 quaw quaw and its neon green and some guy on the lift asked me if i put batteries in it to make the bottom light the snow up haha
 
do you know if it's possible to make your own custom graphics.? like scrap all the wax off, and spray paint it. then wax it again..

would that work?
 
do a basic google search on bases. "extruded" might be a good word to narrow your search with. it should explain how wax and bases work.
 
ONE BALL JAY GLOW WAX

its the shit for like 2 runs, then it no longer leaves neon streaks on the snow.
 
it is possible just scrape all the wax out with razor blades and sand paper, then rinse the wood core under water to make sure its nice and clean they spray paint it and fill it in with clear candle wax
 
^hahahahaha

but dude, just get like the 170 ar5's from this last season, they have a yellow base and rock the yellow underglow its sickk. they light up everything.
 
A razor blade is way too much work. Really, you should take a heat gun and melt the wax and p-tex off the base. Don't worry, it's made to all come off, that's why no matter how many times you mess up your bases you can take it to the shop and have a base grind done. Which brings up an interesting point, it would work if you had a small enough belt for your belt sander, too. After you get to the core you definitely want to let it soak in your bathtub in piping hot water to make sure that all the wax and p-tex dissolves off. Take it out, dry it off with a towel, and then apply some laquer to protect it immediately afterwards. This part is important. then you can go ahead and paint on your graphics, or make a collage with photos cut from Freeskier for the steeziest bases. After that, take a bastard file and make your edges flush with your new base. Add wax, and you're good to go. Post pics!!!!111one
