ALPINE SKI & SNOWBOARD PREPARATION

IRONING APPLICATION OF CERA F POWDER
A standard package of 30 grams normally is enough to wax 2 to 3 pairs of Downhill skis.
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.
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. Lightly touch the iron along the base to
stick the powder to the base.
2.
Iron the powder into the base. Make just one
pass with the iron, taking approx. 5 to 6 seconds.
Recommended iron temperature setting
for FC7, FC8X and FC10X is 160°C (320°F), and
for FC78 it is 165°C (330°F).
For FC10B0 the temperature setting should
be approx. 150°C.
3.
After cooling to room temperature (5 min.)
brush the powder up from the base with the
stiff Black Nylon Brush (T194). 10 strokes.
Note:
FC78 and FC7 Powders should be ironed twice:
Brush the powder up (not away) with the Stiff
Nylon Brush T194. Iron once more. Wait 5 minutes.
4.
Continue with the Wild Boar Brush (T164) or
Horsehair Brush (T157). 10 strokes.
5.
Finish with the Fine Blue Nylon Brush (T160).
3-4 strokes.
6.
At the start site place the board or skis in the
snow. After the base has adjusted to temperature
of snow make final brushing with
the Blue Nylon Polishing Brush (T160).
5-10 strokes.
