How do you get SEXWAX off????
Kenneth McCullagh
I have a problem with Sex Wax - the guy who owned my screamer before me
put Sexwax on the deck, between the mast track and the straps. Maybe a
good idea at the time, but as time goes on, it gets less sticky and more
slippy, as dirt and stuff sticks to it.
it also looke TERRIBLE - it's all black. Also I need to get it off 2 Bic
Malibu surfboards. I tried hot water and washing up liquid, with a nail
brush, but doesn't have any effect.
Any advice on this one would be mucho appreciado
good luck out there in the big bad world.........

* Expose your unit to the sun...... until it gets warm and starts to
melt.
* Rub your unit VERY GENTLY......with mineral spirits.
* Nylon brush with Simple Green and H20.
* Tell your buddy to wax his own stick.

How would a heat gun or hair dryer do?

I haven't tried this on sex wax, but it works on candle wax on the
carpet. Take a towel (use an old one so your girlfriend doesn't get
mad) and put it over the waxy spot and use something to heat it with,
I think a hot iron would work pretty good. The wax will suck into to
towel toward the heat.

you just have to clean your board with white spirit

Fill the teakettle with water, bring to a near boil, pour hot
water over wax, wipe clean with a rag.

A hot shower (after) usually does the trick

White Spirit should do the trick.
However - any possibility that you end up removing more than you intend -
e.g. some of the polyester or epoxy?

absolutely not
you just have to display it with a cloth and scrub off the wax
when it's completely dissolved you take it off with a clean cloth
i've been practising it for 20 years on all kinds of surfboards and windsurf
it's so easy you'll be amazed
don't worry ken it's 100% safe
if not let the devil destroy my F2 axxis 268 !

If you can work out a way of freezing the wax it will virtually fall
off.

Work out a way of freezing . . . Just stick it outside overnight (around here)

Go to a good automotive body supply store. I have seen a liquid that is
used to remove wax from fiberglass. I can not remember the name. Good
Luck.

Well it's not the most non-toxic solution, but a little gasoline on a rag gets it
right off. I'm sure some less toxic solvents would also work.

White Spirit should be ok, a very versatile but still harmless
solvent. It does dissolve liquid epoxy however (great to wash out
brushes etc, normal paint tinner doesn't do the trick here)
so make at least sure the board isn't brand spanking new and
not yet 100 % cured. Otherwise, no problem.

if you havn't tried pouring hot water from the kettle over it then i'd
give that a go.

GAS will remove it

I“ve used ordinary Degreaser type of fluid for cars, both on a
polyethylene board (Tiga) and on different Epoxy boards. After a
thorough wash with Ajax in warm water after the degreaser, all boards
has come out all right. Dunno if I“ll notice something later on...
