a Nylon Brush (T161).<br />

Wipe off as much as possible with Fiberlene<br />
(T150).<br />
Let the ski dry for 5-10 minutes.<br />

Brush firmly with the Steel Brush (T179 or<br />
T162). The ski is now ready for application of<br />
new wax.<br />

Iron on the harder CH4 or CH6. Just melt<br />
the wax on the base surface without heating<br />
the entire board or ski. The purpose is to lift and<br />
stiffen polyethylene micro-hairs to be more<br />
easily cut away with the scraper.<br />
13.<br />
Scrape away the layer of CH4 or CH6.<br />
Use a sharp acrylic scraper. Use light strokes,<br />
shaving away the excess wax.<br />
14.<br />
Brush the base using the Steel Brush (T179),<br />
approx. 50 strokes.<br />
15.<br />
Hot wax with CH8 or BP88. Let cool approx.<br />
5 minutes. Scrape with 3 mm plexi scraper<br />
(T0823) and brush with Steel Brush (T179).<br />
Repeat 5 to 10 times before skis are put on<br />
snow.<br />
Continuous use of skis and boards,<br />
in between waxing, improves glide.<br />
