Wax hot box?

[sickynicky]

Any one have any specs to create a wax hot box? Looking to make one to get the optimum saturation of wax into p-tex

i think its kinda overkill to make a hot box though...

yeah, just use a hot iron - unless your racing, or competing in a pipe comp you don't need to hot box your skis. (haha - hot boxing skis, sorry).

Be careful, if you arent careful with your temps, it is easy to delam a pair of skis.

having built 3 hot boxes and to do it right and safely it costs about $300 atleast and most of that is in the controlers to keep the temp... secondly it only works with really good wax which costs more $$$....watch out thats all i am saying ..

Swix sells one for $2000.

pretty unnecessary unless your racing. being a racer only our tech and a couple friends of mine who specialize in speed have hot boxes.

We hotbox every pair of skis before they go out the door.
