Been noticing some differences between the bases on my BWPs and my SnowJams.
1. BWP bases seem to dry out a lot quicker, need to wax after every visit to the snowdome, only needed wax SnowJams every other time. And the BWPs always need two layers of wax, I know its best to do 2 anyway, but i could get away with one on SJs if I was short on time. Do sintered bases usually dry out quicker?
2. When I wax BWPs the insert pattern shows up on the bases when I iron in the hot wax, never saw his on SnowJams using same wax and iron setting. Why might this be - is it a problem?
Another thing, I use white wax now, but I was using black molybdenum wax before and the black particles were separating out when it melted. I only noticed this when I put it on the BWPs coloured base (the SJs have a completely black baes). Is this normal for coloured wax, or could it be it was too hot or gone off or something?
any advice appreciated.
Cheers.
