NORDIC SKI PREPARATION

RECOMMENDED APPLICATION OF CERA F POWDER
IRONED ONCE - FC8X, FC10X, FC10B0
A standard package of 30 grams normally is enough to wax 3 pairs of free-technique skis
(skating skis) or 4 pairs of classical skis (tip and tail waxing). A sufficient layer of powder
has to be applied. If the layer is too thin, the high temperature of the iron might destroy
the base.
Before the application of Cera F, the skis have to be waxed with the actual, traditional
wax for today’s conditions. Follow steps 3 to 8 given in the section “Glide-Waxing For
Today’s Competition”, pages 32-33.
3.
After cooling to room temperature (5 min.)
brush the powder up from the base with the
Stiff Black Nylon Brush (T194). 5-10 strokes.
1.
Distribute the Cera F powder evenly on the
base. Don’t forget to apply enough powder to
protect the base from direct contact with the
iron.
4.
Continue with the Wild Boar Brush (T164).
10-20 strokes.
2.
Move the iron in one continuous pass
from tip to tail on each side of the groove.
Recommended iron temperature setting
for FC8X and FC10X is 160°C. For FC10B0 the
temperature setting should be approx. 150°C.
One pass with the iron from tip to tail takes
approx. 5 seconds.
5.
Finish with the Blue Nylon Brush (T160).
3 - 4 strokes.
IMPORTANT:
The powder will not completely melt and
the base might look partly white after this
initial treatment.
