Ski Tuning

as a complete beginner at this I looked on youtube and watched how it was done ...

and others

all you need is an old iron and a workbench (i did mine on the kitchen surface but its messy ) ...thoroughly clean the ski sole (I did mine with thinners on a cloth)and let dry then i dripped ptex on the gouges then let cool for 1/4 of an hour scraped off with a stainless metal edge then sanded with VERY fine glass paper till completely smooth then hot waxed scraped the excess off with apiece of perspex...thoroughly brushed with a stiff brush then edged with a little gizmo i bought from decathlon....took them to a mate who was a ski technician who said they were OK

its not rocket science :lol: and the cost was the ptex £4.95 and a new scrubbing brush £1 and wax £6 the edger was about £5 from decatlon

try these people ...gave me good service

the first time I was there there was NO snow anywhere else within 50 miles so it was busy at weekends but they are modern 5 and 6 seater lifts so the queues weren't too bad
