Wax substitute

[Toona]

Im hitting my pvc rail right now and its too hot to water it. Anybody know if surf or ski wax will do the job. I know surf wax adds grip to surfboards but what about rails?

Surf wax is made to give you grip, not make it more slippery. We always just rubbed a block of cheap ski wax on the rail and also underfoot on the skis, it works perfectly

spaying it with pam will make it slicker than you know what

But how long does the pam last?

Idk about the pam but i just tried this olive oil spray and it works great

not long especially since you’re never ready for it, slip out, and wipe most of it off on your clothes

I've never experienced a sticky pvc rail. Your edges might just be way too sharp.

so annoying this happened to me all of last winter but with strangers cuz my setup was in a public park

Would skate wax also work?

 

[goatmaster]

Chap stick works also it just takes alot of it. But if its is the only thing you got than it does work.

Believe it or not splooge works great too

I’ve never found wax very effective on pvc, at least with the wax I’ve tried on my pvc.

OP if your pvc is shredded, try sanding it and then polishing with something like an abrasive Scotch Brite pad. I tune my pvc up a couple times a year and it keeps them sliding good.

Try dish soap big chief

You can buy a big ass brick of parofen wax at the grocery store for like 3 bucks. People cook with it or whatever but it’s awesome skate wax. Mainly people just add dyes and shape that stuff to make expensive skate wax. NOT FOR SKI BASES

Cum works in my experience

 

[Zeaton]

Super glue

Check your edges. Pvc should be pretty fast with minimal water even. Edged might need a detune underfoot.
