My bro is really artistic and I am getting him some paint pens for his birthday because he has been wanting to draw on our boards since we both have blanks. My question is, is there any safe cleaner to use to really get all the wax off, and I dont mean just waiting for it to melt in the sun. It really has to be clean for this to work well. Ive heard paint thinner and other suggestions, but that seems a little rough especially on a fiber glass board. Thanks for any help.
 
Well removing wax is easy. The first thing that you should do is let the board sit in the sun for a few minutes too let the wax heat up. Then use a wax comb or old credit card to scrape off all of the wax. There will be some remaining wax, and this is where the wax remover comes in. Go to any surf shop and ask for some wax remover. Dont use any of that paint thinner stuff. Just get some wax remover. Follow the directions on it and all of your wax will come off. Its that simple. Good luck.
