Once I missed the wax so badly ....
I rewaxed 10X in a 20k classic, still got 4th.
I think I had glidewaxed my classics earlier for fun then forgot to sand and totally wax-solvent the kick area before kickwaxing again. I believe I ironed in my kick, though. Probably didn't use binder either. I was being WAY too casual and not thinking. And just kept losing that wax.
