Hi All,

Last Spring, I put a heavy coating of ski wax on for Summer/Autumn storage.
I'd like NOT to have to scrape it all off and apply a fresh lighter coat.
I'd like to try heating the storage coat so it's easily removed with a scraper, only leaving a light coat to scrub and buff, and be good to go.

Is this okay to do?
I don't want to damage the base by scraping and scrubbing on a layer of wax that's too thin.

Thanks for your guidance.

use a plexi scraper and do not heat it up. i wouldnt worry about the amount of wax it will all wear off rather quickly
I tend to just clean the edges and be done with it

And there it is. :)
Thanks for the guidance!
I'll commit to the heavy scrape and ski-off the remainder.
Kind regards.
