boardguru Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Just wondering if anyone has ever put a board outside in direct sunlight, base up, after hotwaxing with a liberal amount of wax, to get a poor mans version of hotboxing their board? The temps here the next 5 days are 100 degrees and above. Just wonder if this is a good, or very bad idea, with potential problems, or "what a great idea". Thanks for any and all replies.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 UV damages? Consistent temperatures? I would be concerned that the black base material would get too hot and delaminate. Try it with an old board first. Perhaps a solar hot box? Black roofing material laid over a shallow box? Punch a temperature probe through the side of the box? The heat would likely be spread out evenly over the board. Your attic? I know mine gets over 120F frequently. That is what the t-stat is set at for the exhaust fan. It just came on :) Going to be HOT here in the PNW this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardguru Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Thanks Bryan, That's probably a better idea. I wouldn't want to ruin a board with an experiment like putting it in the direct sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
