Answer:

You can use the rub on wax and if you do, DO NOT use a hot iron. its not meant for it. and seeing how its your first board if i was you i would go get it hot waxed, how wax is just better and well worth the money for your first time waxing.

Yes and the reason is simple actually. A base, is a porous material. It becomes exceptionally porous when heated, because the molecules expand. At this point, the liquid heated wax is free to flow inbetween the expanded molecules of the base, and thereby the base absorbs the wax. When the base cools it settles, and retains the wax inside of it. Wax is not just a layer on top of your base, it is in your base.
