Spring wax job not working well!

So coming off a fresh hot wax on my snowboard with all the wax on scrapped off, everything starts to feels sluggish after 2-3 runs. I look at the base and there are patches of sticky wax build up (almost like the board wasn't scraped) on the base with a lot of dirt in it. The base feels so sticky that when i get on a box feature, the whole board comes to a full stop.
I go to the parking lot and scrape off all the patches. When i get back on the hill, it feels much better again. Boxes, no problem. All okay until 2-3 runs later when the patches gradually return.
What am i doing wrong?
-I use Swix Bio Degradable Ski/Snowboard Warmer conditions Wax.
-I have a sintered base
-Waxing process: Hot scrape once, brush, wax, scrape, brush (all with same wax)
All my older boards had extruded bases and for that i was told to not wax at all during the spring. It worked well. Can you go unwaxed on sintered bases too in the spring? I remember reading somewhere that this wouldn't work for sintered.
I just got a new batch of wax this week. The Swix CH10 Hydrocarbon Wax. Maybe this'll work better.
