I've been using the Ray's Way Wax Whizard tool (http://alpineskituning.com/cms/inde...ys-way-waxwhizard&catid=37:products&Itemid=71). It takes a fraction of the time and there is almost no waste. There's nothing wrong with a hot wax now and then but this is the way to go for daily maintenance.

I use this method on the race skis - for races. I know that a good % of families racing for FSC (Canon) are doing the same thing.

I read there site and I am still confused as to how this is comparable to hot waxing. Not really doubting it but I dont get how this would be any different than just rubing the wax in with cork or other material.......


Any insight?

One thing I've used...and hasn't resulted in disaster(lol) is in using a sheet of Fiberlex(sp?)...together when ironing seems to help soak up any excess wax...but once you get used to using a circular ironing motion and skilled at applying the wax = you won't need as often. Agree with all the rest mentioned...and no doubt dl's method, as well as regular roll-on with a cork-rub-in works well = really convenient for a fresh wax job when staying over for a 2nd or 3rd day.

>some people buff too as a last step
...with soft-hair brush seems to do a great job...with hotwax.
