Should I wax or tune my snowboard first?

What temperature should I wax my snowboard?
120-140 degrees Fahrenheit
Generally, you want to set the temperature near 120-140 degrees Fahrenheit (a little warmer in a cold garage). Make sure to always wax your board when it’s at room temperature so the pores will be open and absorb the wax better. A cold base won’t absorb the wax as well.
