hints for use
For colder climates use the Warm formula as a basecoat and the Cool/Cold as a top coat. Using light circles apply the Warm formula to a fresh deck. Watch magic mounds of Johnson appear before you! Now make it super grippy by adding a healthy coating of the Cool/Cold formula, again applying the wax with a light circular motion to achieve the mounds.
If you are unsure of water temperature where you will be surfing, go for a more versatile Warm option. You can get away with using Warm wax in cold water (although not ideal), but Cold wax can become gooey as water temperature increases.
