yes, P-Tex video please
10/10 Tutorial!!! Quick, simple and gives a GREAT overview of every step on real skis in real time. I never thought of using a wire brush for harder wax as I spent a solid 30mins trying to use a plastic brush to get the wax out of my base. That dual horsehair/wire brush is a life saver!
This gearhead’s a 14/10. 🔥
Thank you for this video. Very informative and to the point. Thank you.
Would add one step: detuning from the tips to the contact points.
good job. just watched Swix's how to video. the iron should be straight not sideways. and they explain the reason not to get the iron to hot. resin between the layers in the ski will breakdown.
When do you cork?
Have edges machined to match tool angle before using it. Can run your stone and leave you with goofy edges
What is the brand of that universal wax?
What temp should you set your iron at when ironing your base?
i would recommend to push the scraper with that angle instead of pulling it. The risk of damaging your base is much higher in this case.

Would you care to explain why the risk is higher?

Thank you!
What if your edge went ejecto seato from a core shot... asking for a friend
why do we wax and then we remove all the wax?
A old clothing iron is just fine. the less steam holes the better. You don't need no special vise either.
remember to wear some gloves , you thk me later
Can we all agree to never say "tip to tail" ever again.
