Well, the way I understand it, the purpose of waxing is for the wax to penetrate the base of the board and fill in very small abrasions. Very little of the wax is supposed to stay on the surface, which is why after you apply the wax you remove as much of it as possible. So it doesnt really make sense (unless you have a super-sensitive sense of touch) that the board would have a “waxy feel” to it.But then again, I could be wrong…
