Waxing plastic boats
Has anyone heard of or has done any waxing to their plastic Kayak?
I speak of the same sort of waxing that someone might wax their surf board,
using what's knows as "Sex Wax".
This is done to create less resistance on the water..
Actually, one waxes up the upper deck of a surf board in order to make it
less slippery and easier to stand up on without falling off.
I know some more anal types of kayakers who will use paste wax on their
composite boats. But this is pretty much purely for cosmetic reasons. The only
thing I will regularly use on a boat, plastic or otherwise, might be Formula
303 UV inhibitor.
