Can I use wax as a quick ding fix?

Question: Can I use wax as a quick ding fix?
Answer: No. It doesn't do anything but gum up your ding and make things more messy for repair. As a kid,I always broke off a chunk of wax and jammed it into a fresh ding in hopes of saving the foam from water invasion, but days later I found myself picking out waxy bits from a brown-stained nightmare...On my board that is.
