Default Hot Wax Stained my Board

After my last day out last season I waxed my board without scraping off
the excess, to keep the base from drying out (a tip I got from the
archives here).

When I went to scrape off the wax this season, I noticed that the white
graphics on the base of my board were tinted orange (the color of my
wax). I thought I just wasn't scraping enough wax off, so I took it
out on the slopes in hopes that the wax would wear off.

But, it's now March and, while some of the orange tint has gone away,
there are areas that look like they will be permanently tinted orange.
Has anyone else had this happen to them, or have I done something
wrong? Is it possible the base of my board is slightly more porous
than it should be? I don't notice any performance difference, just
thought it was weird.

Thanks
Eric

All the colored waxes tend to leave some degree of tint, even after
just a regular waxing. I suspect some companies may use stronger
dye than others. The thing you really need to watch out for is
using a graphite based wax on a nonblack base. That I'm not sure
ever goes away completely. Kinda like dingy socks.
