Freshly Waxed

[phillycore]

Just got done waxing 3 pairs of boards...

 

I tried this Demon hot wax this time around... never used it before but it totally kicks.. Then I coated them with some swix F4 just for good measure...

 

 

 

What wax do you guys normally use??

 

I normally use Dakine hot wax and follow it up with either some swix f4 or some race paste

[Tyler]

i hot wax with Dr. D's all temp wax...

[sirfrancisbacon9]

swix mainly, i bought this stuff called bluebird, so im gonna try that out

[Glenn]

Swix, cold and warm (depending on temps). It's really Zaldon's stuff, and I only wax when I'm at my parent's house.

[Dan-]

OBJ most of the time. I have grenade wax that i got for free from a buddy, so i use that occasionlly.

Dr. D's stuff blows away Swix and Toko, for both quality and price. For non-racing, I'd go with his universal hydrocarbon:

Or get the warm stuff, since we're global warming so fast...

 

BTW, in case you missed it, he's a local PA guy that's been doing it for a long time and has had his stuff tested by some great racers (uh, and me, too).

Hey ski thanks for the link.... He has a LOT of great tips on there...

Whatever I get free at work, its usually Swix, and I use the temperature one not the all purpose for the most part since wax is free and I do it all the time, I can just re - do it. I wish they sold the size wax we have at work, its a huge brick that can do about a million pairs of skis and we have it by the case, I just want to buy one case and it would last me years. Does wax ever go bad?

 

Sometimes I throw high Fluro wax on when I'm really going crazy, but not too much cuz that stuff is expensive and I bought it seperately.

I got new skis and this is how I prepped them.

 

Generic warm wax base coat (some junk I got at a ski sale cheap), a layer of Papa Woody Synthetic, and since its been warm put on some Swix CH10 Yellow Hydrocarbon (32-50 deg) Occasionaly I may put on a dash of some Swix F4 univeral glide and really buff it in. It's been working really well.

 

I have to check out Dr D's stuff though because it seems everyone that has is really happy with it.

I am still working my way through my supply of Dr. D's hydrocarbon "movie wax" and wishing I'd bought more.

i had demon last year- smelled nice vanilla and such. so good.

 

I usually just use all temp wax. Occasionally i'll bust out the winter shit. When spring conditions come, i'll bust out the yellow swix, or better yet, the black OBJ. I mostly use OBJ, bcause it's sick shit. Swix here and there. If i'm out of all temp, i mix summer and winter was to get the general blend. I try to wax every other day out,

[AtomicSkier]

I go through wax way to quickly. I usually end up waxing 7+ pairs of skis a week, so 900g of wax doesn't last too long. For everday waxings, I use Swix Universal warm/cold because it's cheap.

[Papasteeze]

My ski shop had a box of scraps and I melted them all together and made bricks for every so often cleaning, waxing and summer storage.

 

15 billion different steps for race skis. I tend to stick to holmenkols methods and waxes since I still have a stock, I cork Dr D's flouro on race day and intend on migrating to all his products when current supplies are used up.

[VTmark]

I'm placing an order for Dr. D's stuff at the end of the week when i get paid. right now i'm using swix all weather 'cuse salters had it in a brick of 900g's for like 5 bux at the begging of this seson.

Just tried the Dr. D Universal Hydrocarbon and it is some good stuff.
