I use this clear mat on my woden boards so you can see all the nice wood. I use the black or white on my foam boards because it cost less works just as good. I don't like wax it gets all over everthing the bag, car, dog ,fins, wetsuit. makes a real mess when it get hot and you left your board in the trunk on its side. You don't have to cover the whole board. If you make short boards like me a 4pack will do two boards MIKE _________________ PAIPO ON

Some questions:
How long does the clear matt last (several sessions, one year, ...)? How is it if you're not wearing a wetsuit, e.g., skinning it or wearing a rash guard? What should you use of clear the wax off the board (after the scrapping part)? Does it withstand tropical conditions very well? _________________ rodNDtube

I have only had it on my boards one season and it is still looking good. I don't know about no wetsuit or rashguard. I always ware a wet suit of some type even if it is just a 1mil vest I get the belly rash very easy.I think a rashguard would stick well but your body would move around in it. the best way that I have found to remove wax is to scrap as much off as you can with a plastic scraper then wipe it down with mineral spirits(ake paint thinner) then wipe everything down with denatured alcohol. The spirts will get all the wax off the alcohol will take all the oils and solvent off. I don't know about real warm water but worked well this summer @ 75deg. MIKE _________________ PAIPO ON
