From Wax To Ptex: Ski Maintenance 101

[@RealFigureEight]

10/10 Tutorial!!! Quick, simple and gives a GREAT overview of every step on real skis in real time. I never thought of using a wire brush for harder wax as I spent a solid 30mins trying to use a plastic brush to get the wax out of my base. That dual horsehair/wire brush is a life saver!

This gearhead’s a 14/10. 🔥

yes, P-Tex video please

[@rakeshsemenchalam4464]

Thank you for this video. Very informative and to the point. Thank you.

[@kevincafaro8846]

good job. just watched Swix's how to video. the iron should be straight not sideways. and they explain the reason not to get the iron to hot. resin between the layers in the ski will breakdown.

[@FLYRODDER38]

Would add one step: detuning from the tips to the contact points.

[@jacobsimpson347]

Have edges machined to match tool angle before using it. Can run your stone and leave you with goofy edges

[@GnB-Fata]

i would recommend to push the scraper with that angle instead of pulling it. The risk of damaging your base is much higher in this case.

[@mihaylodimo8996]

Would you care to explain why the risk is higher?

[@sleepymyron]

What temp should you set your iron at when ironing your base?

[@davescheer4602]

When do you cork?

[@Runetone]

A old clothing iron is just fine. the less steam holes the better. You don't need no special vise either.

[@Squallywood]

Great video, cheers!

[@backcountry]

Thank you!

[@sleepymyron]

What is the brand of that universal wax?

[@Ydooo]

why do we wax and then we remove all the wax?

[@lealamb]

Can we all agree to never say "tip to tail" ever again.

[@Edward-ee7ng]

Why not?

[@bodhi2752]

[@XWhiteWinter]

[@Bluebird_Bum]

What if your edge went ejecto seato from a core shot... asking for a friend
