Wax

[MADSCRILLA]

Uh, I'm waxing my skiis and i can't find a straight edge thats stiff enough to even out the wax, could i just use the cloth thing to polish it until everything is flat or is that bad?

 

[soulskier]

a plastic dish scraper works pretty good

 

[MADSCRILLA]

Its 9:00 and I have no way of getting anywhere. I'm asking if its ok to polish it with the cloth.

 

[soulskier]

go for it are you afraid of hurting your skis?

 

[humbleSage]

Or get a scraper in the morning. Sounds like a lot of elbow grease.

the rad will perminatly damage your skis. the only thing you can use is a 50$ scraper.

 

[humbleSage]

HAHAHAHA!!!

you need to scrape it. your cant "polish" the wax off. and you need to take it all off.

things you can use to scrape it: your other ski edge, the back of a knife, a razor(if your careful), basically any thing hard and straight edged. metal, plastic what ever.

If you dont have a scraper you should let the shop wax for you, I'm all for kids learning about tuning skis but read up before you try.

ha, i just wax on and sometimes i dont scrape them off cause im too lazy. but i will on race days.

your still fine, there are no need to scrap off, the first run will probably be sticky depending on what wax u put on then it will be smooth after that.

 

[B.L.A.K.E]

No scrape it, if you can like totally tell there is a shit load of wax on the ski its WAAYYYY too much.

 

[Holte]

any piece of hard plastic will work fine.

 

[reggyboy]

use a credit card or a season pass

wax cult is dead

 

[Sknsnw9]

well it depends on how much wax u put on, cause for some people they dont knoww how to tune their skis and they put too much on.

i know how much is enough and i just smooth it out with my iron to make it smooth and which makes it easier to scrap off anyways, and i know cause im a racer so i know what im doing....
