Has anyone tried this?

I need a way to wax a spot without the residue.

And on a related note, how can I get wax of a concrete ledge?

I use any kind of candle unless it's cinnamon-scented or something. I try to go for legit wax most of the time. I've never tried soap and don't plan to, it sounds sketchy, lol.

Just go around your neighborhood and ask old people ONLY if they have any old candles you can have most old people have some or just ask your grandparents or something like that.

It feels like shit still sometimes. And if you do front peg grinds, you might eat shit and die. I might do that on smoother concrete though.
