Base Cleaning and Preparation<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>"},"content":{"rendered":"

Before ski<\/a> or snowboard<\/a> base flattening<\/a> you need to remove\u00a0an old wax from the base, otherwise the stone grit will be clogged with the wax and will not eat base. To do it you might use a liquid wax remover and non-woven fabrics towels (fiberlene). Alternatively for the remover application we can use fine (orange) fibertex which opens base pores and makes\u00a0wax absorption more efficient.
\nSince the wax remover might dry a base a little we\u00a0might prefer hot wax\u00a0cleaning which is taken as more sensitive to a ski base. Base is hot waxed with base prep wax (universal paraffin) and then scraped off while the ski is still hot. This procedure should be repeated until you detect no dirt in the scraped off wax. Base is then brushed by a brass\u00a0brush in order to remove the rest of the wax as well as to open base pores for increasing\u00a0wax absorption. As an alternative we can use a fine nylon orange fibertex (mentioned above) or a medium coarse aluminum oxide fibertex pad (purple), which takes care of refereshing neglected, oxidized bases and improves wax absorption as well.
\nSuch a base cleaning is performed always before new waxing<\/a>.<\/p>\n
