How do I use it?
Simply take the wax block out of its container and rub it along the grip part of your drumstick, pull up bar, pole, etc., to apply an even coating. (It works better when applied to a clean surface. Recoat as required.)
Almost as if by magic, the warmth of your hands will increase the tackiness of the wax and provide a better grip.
Store it in the handy screw cap container (out of direct sunlight) until the next time you use it.

How often will I need to re-apply Diddle Wax?
That will depend on how much extra grip you require, so will take some experimentation. Start with a litlle and gradually build up a coating to achieve your own best results and recoat as required.

How long will my Diddle Wax tablet last?
That will depend on how often you use it and what surface area you're covering. Obviously you'll need less for smaller smoother surfaces such as drumsticks, and more for larger or knurled surfaces such as on weight bars. However much you use though, it's much cheaper than many imported products and should be much more economical to use.

How do I clean Diddle Wax off my equipment?
The melting point of Diddle Wax is very low, so simply heat it with a hairdryer and then rub it off with a cloth or plastic card.

The name "Diddle Wax" sounds a little suggestive. Why is it called that?
Despite the name being loaded with potential innuendo, it has a very real meaning in drumming. (Remember it was created by a drummer.) A "diddle" is actually a double drum beat. EG: In a 2-stroke roll, LLRRLLRRLLRR, every pair of strokes is called a diddle.

It is safe to use Diddle Wax?
Diddle Wax is made with a secret and unique formula created around a local beeswax base. So as well as being extremely safe and well tolerated, it has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties.

OK, so whats not in it?
No Petroleum!
No Paraffins!
No Soy!
No Resin!
No Chalk!
No Grit!
No Adhesives!
No Colorants!
No Preservatives!

Really, it's just faster to say that Diddle Wax Grip Wax is all natural, with no artificial additives!
Even the colour is the natural colour of the beeswax base.

Other Uses
Pull Up Bars
Wod Wax Alternative - Rep Wax Alternative
Diddle Wax is our locally made alternative to Wodwax and Rep Wax because our Diddle Wax is 100% natural and made from fully disclosed local NZ ingredients.  Most manufacturers don't say what in their waxes; so are they hiding something? Are they based on soy wax, or petroleum-based paraffin wax?  Do they contain chemical preservatives, sticky stuff, gritty bits, faux scents, or bright artificial colourants? (How else would you create a bright fluoro pink colour?)  Are they made outside of NZ, using overseas ingredients? So, if so, what about their carbon footprint and carbon miles? Try Diddle Wax on your pull up bars and be amazed!
