    Does this consistency look right?

          Looks fine.

          How To Break-in a New Can of M16

          Often times the wax in a brand new can of M16 will have an irregular surface. Because you're not supposed to scoop this wax out of the can but instead spin your wax applicator against the surface of the wax in the can you need a flat surface. So the first thing you do when you open a brand new can of M16 is to "Break-in the can of wax".

          To do this, take your clean wax applicator pad and basically push/smoosh any high points down and then use the applicator pad to smooth out the top surface of the wax by agitating/spinning your applicator against it until it's flat.




          Note the uplifted and irregular surface of the wax which is normal.




          Smash down any high points and then smooth out the surface till it's as flat as you can get it.



          Now your can of wax is ready to use!



          When you go to remove wax from the can, spin your applicator on the top surface focusing on the outer edges while at the same time spinning or rotating the can with your other hand.

          Spinning your applicator against the hard wax will liquefy it enough to allow some wax to seep into your applicator pad.

          Spinning or rotating the can at the same time with your other hand will enable you to take the wax down evenly across the surface instead of removing more wax out of the center producing a cone-shape in the center. The better you can keep the surface flat the easier it will be to remove the wax out of the can over time until you get towards the bottom of the can.

              Looks like cheese to me.

                  you could probably spin a foam wax pad around to fix the cracks.

                    Re: First Time Purchase of Gold Class Paste Wax

                    Last time I used Gold Class Paste wax it has a softer consistency than M16 which just means it will be easier to smooth over the surface.

                      Take a look at the NEVER USED can of 1960's era M16 in this thread... same kind of thing, so it is normal...

                        Thank you, everyone!

                        Like Murr, I thought it's consistency would be more goopy, but it sounds like it doesn't matter.

                        Thank you, Mike!

                          Nxt, and M16 were always more of a hard cake, maybe they changed the Gold Class to it.
