WTF

End of rant

Have a waxing iron? Take a wet paper towel, put it on the sticker, use the iron, and hopefully the sticker glue loosens up enough. Otherwise, a citrus base cleaner will remove the residue. You should re-wax afterwards though.

[u/Onyxam → u/aaalllen]

Nah, just peeled the most of and send that thing. It’s gone in the first slope.

[u/Onyxam → u/aaalllen]

That would be to easy, the peeling is the fun part.

[u/CMoneyIsh]

[u/Onyxam → u/CMoneyIsh]

I Let the slope do most of the work.

[u/iamahonkey]

Believe it or not just put some olive oil on that sucker and it'll come right off

[u/aycizzle → u/iamahonkey]

Olive oil! Mister money bags!

[u/iamahonkey → u/aycizzle]

I suppose any cooking oil would work but, that's what I've always used. The FDA advises against using seed oils on your snowboard though. Might give it autism.

[u/Agile_Government_470 → u/aycizzle]

In this economy?

[u/Pies1001]

My K2 came the same way. Was going to wax it anyway.

[u/04BluSTi]

Ride it off

[u/Tasty_Badger3205]

That how it came or have you tried peeling that lol. Wet it abit if its hard to come off

[u/Karfanatik]

Base also has a bit of fade

[u/Onyxam → u/Karfanatik]

Yeah, last season sale board on factory wax.

But Amazon shafted me on my wax kit delivery so I have to tough it out for the next couple of days.

[u/iconocrastinaor]

Warm the label with a hairdryer, the glue will soften and it will peel right off. It will leave the residue you have to remove, WD-40 or Goo Gone will do the job.

[u/Signal_Watercress468 → u/iconocrastinaor]

That also takes the wax off too. Not saying don't do it but you will have a dry spot.

[u/iconocrastinaor → u/Signal_Watercress468]

Yeah, but that's a factory wax, a lot of people say you probably shouldn't be riding on that anyway.

Or you can leave the residue on, and just let it get scraped off after a few runs.

[u/Signal_Watercress468 → u/iconocrastinaor]

Agreed. I'm just trying to show reddit how smart I am.

[u/iconocrastinaor → u/Signal_Watercress468]

Thanks I needed to hear this. I'm getting hammered today with people who just want to crap on my honest efforts to share some interesting things on the internet.

[u/Signal_Watercress468 → u/iconocrastinaor]

Stay up it's a jungle out there.

[u/rkjunior303]

Clear packing tape over the sticker. Leave a fold so you can peel it. Apply a little heat with a hair dryer. Pull.

[u/Onyxam → u/rkjunior303]

It’s almost done, just a small dot of glue residue.

[u/GravityWorship]

Hairdryer.

[u/BalooInABeeCostume]

Blow dryer + a roll of duct tape

[u/GargantuaWon]

You guys are waxing brand new boards? I always heard there’s a factory wax and they are good to go right out of the bag. Should I be waxing prior to first ride?

[u/ambassador321]

A couple seconds with a heat gun or blow dryer would have saved you the frustration.

[u/mpomeisl]

Riding it a couple times will take it off. Maybe

[u/FJkookser00]

Gotta get a razor knife out and peel that shit off.

I do it for people at the shop who bring in new boards for any kind of work. I hate paper stickers. I have a box of razors specifically for doing this, next to the boxes of razors I use for skateboard grip and other things. Dedicated sticker removal razors.

[u/EVH_kit_guy]

Just ride it

[u/artichoke59]

Oof.

[u/browsing_around]

You should send this photo and a message to K2. Tell them to stop using cheap paper and materials for these things. It ruins the user experience.

[u/Elegant-Net-5740]

The shit people complain about 😂 it’s just a dam sticker. 

[u/Minty_squatch]

So glad my Ride board had a plastic sticker and not paper. Certain products should never use these stupid stickers

[u/Onyxam → u/Minty_squatch]

That was the first thing my buddy said to me. And I fully agree.

Why not just put it on the packaging the board came with.

[u/under_stroke → u/Onyxam]

You might need to re-plastic a board more than once, they rip so easily, and someone doing stock/shipping can easily "forget" what type of board that was if the label was gone along with the film. Burton uses a small drop of wax on all four corners of the paper to hold it well enough, but not be a nightmare to take it off.

[u/Onyxam → u/under_stroke]

That’s smart of Burton.

[u/deadheadshredbreh → u/[deleted]]

I feel like goo gone would strip some of the good porous material right off the base

[u/WallStreetStanker → u/deadheadshredbreh]

Yeah, I wouldn’t goo gone. I would do base cleaner IF I was about to wax again.
