They have a ton of tuning tips on their site.

..........Crayon the wax onto the base. Wax Wizzard (friction) the wax onto the base. Roto Brush (love the roto brush...choked on the price). :>
Sometimes I use a Swix iron after crayoning the wax to the base, then I scrape, then I roto. Meh. If you're going to tune (or a least wax) after each day on snow....it seems to me the crayoning method should be adeqquate...and you burn through lots less wax....and that pile of scraped wax (which probably carries a bunch of debris from your ski...which is why people still use the method) is avoided.

So I picked up a bunch of tuning gear without really considering WHERE I was going to use it. Get to our condo and realize there is no good place inside to do it without driving my wife crazy with the mess. So, is it possible to tune outside? I don't mind being in the cold but does tuning in sub-freezing conditions have a negative result? I thought I read somewhere that the ski should be "room temp" before beginning.
Well that's a technique I hadn't considered. Would this work?
Skis at room temp (inside) -- bring them outside for nylon brushing and edge sharpening (diamond stone).
Bring inside for hot wax and let cool to room temp inside
Bring outside again and quickly scrape and brush.
That work or does the cold outside immediately hinder teh scraping/brushing?
Thanks
