You could do that,Swell. Or, you could head back on to fleabay, and bid £7.50 or £10 for a service.
You didn't buy some blue kneissls? I put a bid in for some a couple of days ago, with 15 secs to go. and.... I had forgotten to sign in!

No Dave they where some Atomic supercross, not bad for a hundred and twenty quid it would have cost me more to hire for two ski trips. Did notice the adverts for servicing whilst looking for skis, but quite fancie doing them myself. Will get hunting on the bay again, reckon its been about 13years since I last waxed a pair :lol: will get some oldies out the loft and do a practice run in them 1st.

How about trying to get an iron off Freecycle?

I think an Iron without the steam holes is best for a consistent heat to the base
