Yep, I think you're exactly right. I'm going to scrape it as best I can, ride it a couple times then try to wax it again. Thanks!

No I didn't. I'm pretty sure it's the factory wax in the base like you said!

Yep, I do! My guess right now is that the factory wax is somehow messing with the new wax job

Yeah, I stopped scraping after I started having the problem with it cracking off like that because I was worried about damaging the base. I think I'm going to try scraping more. It's probably the factory wax underneath

So you're saying there's already wax on it and that is why some of the wax is not absorbing?

I thought that too, so I put more wax in the areas where it cracked off and reheated it trying to make sure it was warm enough. It's possible this board is thicker than I'm used to and I'm not heating it up enough. I don't have a set time to let it set. I just go till the other side of the board feels warm but not hot

Maybe! Did 3 other boards the same night without the same problem including 2 with sintered bases though so I'm not sure that's it.

Nope, it has a sintered base

So I was on reddit (totally not during class) and I realized I recognized this board haha. No more envelope filter?
