I forgot my good pair of skis at my condo and i only have a pair of skis at my house that need to be waxed in the worst way by the time the snow storm hits on tuesday. Any wax suggestion?
 
Apparently some people have used candle wax, with mixed results. I know it seems expensive but just buy a big stick of the cheapest ski wax, Its worth it and itll last a long time. Bought a bar and base repair sticks like 4 years ago, still going strong. And if you're cheap you can put a tarp down or something collect all your scrapings.

I fuck with your sig^

Maybe try straight parafin wax, or boil it to get it more firm.

Any wax that smells like a scented candle..........well you reap what you sow.

There is no advantage to add perfume to a wax. Maybe girl snowboaders like it, but you will suck wind.

Scented wax makes me sick. I hate it when on occasion I am brought some skis that have used it. I tell them if they ever use that smelly wax, don't bring them to me.

Boiling wax will destroy it. That's not how you make a wax harder, that's how you burn it.

Now it's like burnt toast. Enjoy the flavor!

BTW any areas you drip that repair candle all over the place for a small scratch are not needed. Those areas will no longer hold wax. Those areas are now "sealed".

Base repair only when needed, then weld with wire.
