If I were to make a triple barrel rail like 15 foot long, would I end up eating it?

i really dont think wax is necessary, but if you want it id say skate, or even a shitty candle.
pvc is actually more slick that a lot of metal rails, what makes you stick is either dirt on your skis/the rail or having sharp edges dig into the pvc

just spray it with water and your set. or if you are using dish soap on your turf also put some of that on there and you are set
