Magic & cheap ( low cost) tool!!

Once you become "addicted" to tuning your skis you will always look for better tools or a better way to do some tuning procedures.

I always look "outside the box" for solutions or ways to make life easier!

My girl who has a spa found a perfect tuning tool for me! You see she has been tuning her skis since she was 10 and still insists to tune her skis her way!

This tool is used in the spa as a finger nail buffing bar. It is 20 cm long with a very thin plastic center and two foam layers on each side. The surface has three grits!All women know about this tool!

Once you have filed edges and used ceramic stone, this bar is perfect as final clean up! All metal micro-shafts are picked up! It creates a very clean very sharp edge!

Just ask your wives or girlfriends about tis bar! They know what it is!

I also have learned to use it as a support for wrapping fine grade metal 300 grit sandpaper! The foam layers give that perfect surface for a clean even finish to my edges!I now will care one in my ski jacket! Never know when my nails or ski edges will need a touch up!

Since we are in the "cosmetic" section, another great product to have is clear nail polish bottle! Many binding screws are now inserted into plastic ( I will show you soon a Rossignol SL ski which broke because of this) and this often result in "loose" screws after one season! One drop of this magic nail polish acts like a "instant glue" Allows for flex, yet never cracks or breaks down! Men, we have a lot to learn from the products women use!


Another great application of this nail polish clear coat is on the cant side screws on boots! They tend to get loose with vibration! Just take off screw when you do your seasonal cant adjustment and put one drop in screw threads! You will never lose another cant screw!

If you have the Rossignol racing bindings, with the turntable. The rear two screws ( on rear units) are very long and take in a lot of vibration and stress! I have checked a university team's bindings and 70% had loose rear Rossi screws! One drop in each screw solves the problem!

I suspect women's fingernails go through more "harsh" situations than racing bindings!!!


Hope this helps you all!
