It doesn\u2019t take much equipment, and the wax you choose isn\u2019t the be-all-and-end-all.\n\nApart from the time and expense, there are only advantages \u2013 more glide, better protection. Here\u2019s a quick guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It\u2019s good to have something to put the skis on \u2013 an old ski box with holes cut into it, ski vices, or something similarly practical.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scrape off old wax before you apply new wax. Then take a few strokes with a soft wire or brass brush to clean the sole of debris and dirt and to \u201cexfoliate\u201d loose, dry sole material to produce a fresh sole that glides better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean the sole with base cleaner and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swixsport.com\/no\/tilbehor\/preppeutstyr\/base-cleaners-1adc828e\/t151-fiberlene-cleaning-small-20m\/?code=7045950009454\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fiberlene paper<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heat the wax with a wax iron or an old iron from the charity shop (probably best not to use the steam iron you do your shirts with).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a medium-hard wax (red\/pink\/purple) as an all-round wax. It works for most people. You can also use quick\/universal glide or liquid glide when you&#8217;re out in the snow, as shown in the video below, but this isn\u2019t as durable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Let the glider harden<\/strong>; you can put the skis out in the cold to speed it up. Allow ten minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scrape with with a plexiglass scraper, making sure to get as much of the glide wax off as you can.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, brush until the sole\u2019s shiny and smooth. You can polish it up to a pretty shine with a fine fibretex pad or a cork.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-icon-list uagb-block-ff778e93 uagb-icon-list__outer-wrap uagb-icon-list__layout-vertical\"><div class=\"uagb-icon-list__wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-icon-list-child uagb-block-5f653085 uagb-icon-list-repeater uagb-icon-list__wrapper\"><a target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Det greit \u00e5 ha noe \u00e5 legge skiene p\u00e5, for eksempel bokser, bruk skiviser, skrustikker eller noe annet praktisk.\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"#\"> <\/a><span class=\"uagb-icon-list__source-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M0 256C0 114.6 114.6 0 256 0C397.4 0 512 114.6 512 256C512 397.4 397.4 512 256 512C114.6 512 0 397.4 0 256zM256 368C269.3 368 280 357.3 280 344V280H344C357.3 280 368 269.3 368 256C368 242.7 357.3 232 344 232H280V168C280 154.7 269.3 144 256 144C242.7 144 232 154.7 232 168V232H168C154.7 232 144 242.7 144 256C144 269.3 154.7 280 168 280H232V344C232 357.3 242.7 368 256 368z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"uagb-icon-list__label\">Det greit \u00e5 ha noe \u00e5 legge skiene p\u00e5, for eksempel bokser, bruk skiviser, skrustikker eller noe annet praktisk.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-icon-list-child uagb-block-60c888d9 uagb-icon-list-repeater uagb-icon-list__wrapper\"><a target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"F\u00f8r du sm\u00f8rer, b\u00f8r du raskt skrape vekk gammel voks eller transportvoks.

The iron shouldn\u2019t be hot enough to make the wax smoke. Remember to keep the iron moving at all times. When the wax has cooled, scrape the sole with a plastic scraper. Three good long passes or so should do it. Once there\u2019s a razor-thin layer of wax left, go over the sole with a few strokes of the brush again. If you don\u2019t have a sponsor and a race number you can probably skip this bit.\n\nAnother, faster and more economical, method, is to rub the wax over the sole and then melt it in with a square of fiberlene between the iron and sole. This way you don\u2019t even need to scrape.\n\nOnce your skis are waxed, they\u2019re ready for the hill. You might want to give them a quick brush down before you stick them in the roofbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Alpine Race preparation\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/318967199?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Video:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swixsport.com\/no\/tips\/swixschool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Swix School<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"skader-i-salen\">Ouch \u2013 fixing base damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Minor damage to your bases can often be repaired at home with a P-tex candle \u2013 a stick of base material you melt in to the wound. You light one end and let the molten material drip into the injury. You can also use a heat gun.\n\nFirst tidy the injury with a little fine sandpaper. Clean it with rubbing alcohol or degreaser before filling it in with P-tex. Fill the wound well. Press it down with something hard and let it harden a little higher than the rest of the sole. Cut away the excess with a wallpaper knife or sharp metal scraper. Finally, go over the patch with very fine sandpaper and a fine fibertex pad.\n\nYou can also use a powdered repair compound. You sprinkle it into the ski-wound and then drip hardener on to the powder. It hardens in less than a minute.\n\nThese methods are all right for minor damage. For major damage, however, a home repair isn\u2019t going to cut it. The only permanent solution is to deliver the skis to a workshop for someone to weld new sole material into the damaged area.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We don\u2019t put in all that effort just for the view.
