    Applying Dingowax

    Hey guys,
    I started applying Dingowax this morning and found it to be very hard. I looked at the YouTube video, but that didn't answer my question.
    It was hard to a point that I was struggling to get any on the cloth I was suit as an applicator.
    Is that normal?
    I can get some wax out, but it makes sorts of flakes.
    Should I warm it up to soften it a bit?
    Cheers

    Hey Fred,
    I've never had that trouble. Try leaving it out in the sun for a few hours, is it sunny and warm today in Surry Hills ?

    Okay, i'll try to leave until the sun if it comes back! Not much sun today here unfortunately... Looks like it may even rain.

    Hey Fred maybe PM or email DB there may be something you can add to it to make the wax softer and usable
