Ski waxing?

Question

can u hot wax your skis?

Answer 1

yes,dunno

Answer 2

I hot wax my skiis every other day of use, about 3 times a week since I ski 5-7 days a week for 16 weeks a year

  Wax, scrape to thin layer and texture the base with a suede brush.  Ask your local ski instructor what they use, it varies with the snow conditions and moisture content.  Some will use only fluorinated waxes, others a common ski wax.

   The wax will help preserve the ski base from abrasive snow which is quite common everywhere.  It also aids the ski in sliding front and back and sideways, allowing a glide rather than a grab and slip.  

Good turns take practice, practice, practice.  Go with a friend and take a lesson from a professional.  Jim

Answer 5

Yes but it depends on the temperature. Different temperatures require different waxes and methods to put them on.

Answer 6

Hot waxing usually will last longer then quick waxes.  

I use an old clothes iron to do mine.  You have to be careful you don't set it too high.

Answer 7

Hot waxing skis is very common.  As far as preference goes, it's like Ans said. There are different waxes for different temperature ranges. These different waxes come in both hot wax and quick wax application styles. Hot waxes are more of a "base coat" type of wax that is applied to your skis. The quick waxes are just that, a quick means of reapplying wax to your bases or changing from one wax to another for changing conditions.

Answer 8

Hot wax allows the base to absorb more of it so it will last a lot longer
