Method of applying wax to a flotation device

Abstract

A method of applying wax to the top surface of a surfboard. The method may include heating the wax until the wax is molten and in liquid form. Then the liquid wax may be applied to the surface. The liquid wax may then cool and harden on the top surface of the surfboard. In certain embodiments, designs, ripples and patterns may be formed on the liquid wax when the liquid wax is on the surfboard.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of waxing a surfboard comprising:
 heating a wax to a molten state, forming a liquid wax;   applying the liquid wax to the surface of a flotation device; and   allowing the liquid wax to cool on the surface of the flotation device to form a hardened wax on the surface of the flotation device.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the flotation device is a surfboard. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the surface is the top surface of the surfboard. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising creating at least one of a splotched pattern, and an un-even rippled pattern with the liquid surfboard wax on the top surface of the surfboard. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising the step of creating at least one of a design, a logo, a name, and an artwork with the liquid surfboard wax on the top surface of the surfboard. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the surfboard wax is heated and applied using a machine comprising:
 a wax container comprising a heating element;   an air compressor; and   a nozzle, wherein the wax container and the air compressor are operatively connected to the nozzle.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the liquid wax is applied using a brush. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the liquid wax is applied by dripping the liquid wax onto the top surface of the surfboard.
