FAQ

How do I apply and get the best out of my 3Fingers Surf Zinc tin?

The best way the 3Fingers team has found to apply surf zinc: rub the zinc in a circle motion on to the area that needs to be covered, you don’t need to go crazy with it, the natural properties of the surf zinc will protect you. Once you have covered the desired area reapply another thin layer and go get some waves. Use the mirrors/windows of a car where available to assist in coverage!
