Can I use p-tex candles to completely re-do the base of my snowboard?

I want to paint the underside of my board, but I don't want to lose its purpose. I know if I paint it, it won't run as smoothly at all, and I'm pretty sure that applying a bajillion layers of clearcoat won't cut it. If I buy enough P-Tex candles, would it be possible to iron out the whole base and make my board a smooth sailer again? Any help is appreciated, thanks.
