ski wax

I’ve been looking in getting a Holmenkol WaxPro 125 recently and wondering what people’s experience with it is. I’m thinking it would save quite a bit of time waxing skis for a family of 4 with 2 pairs each. Does it do as good of a job as just waxing them as an iron? Do you have to use a...

Heading out on an 8 day ski trip and probably can’t bring an iron and wax. I guess if bases get dry I’ll need to ask a local shop for a wax job, but I was wondering if I would get any more durability if I just gave the skis a light scrape after my pre-trip waxing, rather than fully scraping and...

Hi all, I never use Fluoro wax, so I want to see how to apply properly. I have Swix LF6 , so I wan to see suggestion should I use it direct on skis or should I first apply one coat of regular wax, I have Swix Universal hydrocarbon wax Red color? I like to know what difference makes if just...

Just pondering something. How do you racers feel about the need to warm up vs potentially slowing down your skis by taking too many runs on the fresh wax? I spend a ton of time waxing each week, but I can feel my skis get a bit slower after every run. I've been leaning more towards less warm...

I know, I know, you should always scrape your wax... but I love the convenience and durability of Stuntwax! They were out of CT, and I loved the waxes, especially the fluoro version. About 6 years ago, I bought a full case. Now, I'm out and can't find it. The Stuntwax.com website is live but...

If I get a ski waxed but don’t use it for 2 weeks, does the effectiveness of the wax wear off? If there is degradation, how long does a waxing effectiveness last before you would need to wax again if you didn’t use it?

Went into a shop looking for Swix F4 in a dispenser. I was told they'd sold out and no more was available. Furthermore, no fluoro waxes at all will be available. Was news to me! Thoughts?

Hi all Where are Canadians buying their tuning/waxing tools? I've been looking online, and the prices stores charge up here seems to me offensively expensive for what you get. Do these items ever typically come on sale? Matt

When I'm skiing on a weekend or a longer vacation I always take a rub-on or paste wax in case I need it. I use Hertel Hot Sauce as my everyday wax but their website sucks and I couldn't find rub-on or reach them so I ended up with ZumWax's rub-on. Now weeks later Hertel finally answered my...

As I was dropping off 3 pairs of skis at the local shop for tuning and binding adjustment Saturday I thought to myself "it sure would be nice to be able to sharpen and wax these things myself". Then I remembered reading about good tunes and bad tunes affecting performance and wondered whether I...

I started with toko and that's what I've stuck with for general and race waxing. Swix seems to be popular and has some more product/temp ranges though and what most racers use. So am I missing out? For toko race waxing I just use the colored HF iron in then jetstream bloc topcoat corked in. I...

Is this not being made anymore? Shall I hoard what I have left? Checked @SlideWright 's site and T4B, don't see it. I very much do not want to see it gone as it is the only liquid that worked well for east coast super freezes / polar vortices .

What do you like for a cold-weather wax? I use either Swix Universal or the Hot Sauce, but I need a wax for those really cold, low moisture days. I like to keep things simple and cheap, but people keep telling me the only waxes that really work all that well for those conditions are expensive...

Hi Looking to get some basic wax for my and my kids skis. If I put wax on them now will I need to wax hem again before I go skiing in late December? Saw these on ebay, same seller (wintersportdeals) out of new jersey, anyone familiar with these...

I have spent a great portion of my career working with Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. It is a great wear material for sliding abrasion and has many other wonderful properties. UHMW does not have a melt-flow point. It requires a lot of pressure to either extrude it or sinter it...
