Ways to tell if a base is absorbing wax? (Base porn inside)

I feel like when you can see the structure pop up through the liquid wax on the ski you can kind of tell that the wax has really dissolved into the base and fattened up the ptex. Its almost as if you say to yourself, “what happened to the wax layer that was really thick just a minute ago?” It seems like there is suddenly less wax on the ski and drips on ghe table than what you started with.

do you guys know any good ways to tell if a base has absorbed alot of wax?




also, here is some kinky as fuck sintered base porn as promised.
