Even minor scratches and base damage can have an enormously detrimental effect on ski performance. You can easily repair minor base damage yourself after cross-country skiing, downhill skiing or boarding using the two following techniques.

Repair Candle

1)

Remove any remaining damaged base material using Steel Scraper.

2) Light the repair candle

Drip the liquid repair material onto the damaged spot and allow it to cool completely.

3)

Remove any excess material layer by layer, using the Radial file or Steel Scraper.

4)

Brush out the base with a copper brush.

Repair Powder

Repair Powder is perfectly suitable even for larger areas of damage. By warming it with an iron, the repair material adheres very well to the base material.

1)

Sprinkle Repair Powder on the damaged spot.

2)

Lay the foil over the powder. Adjust the wax iron to 140°C and place on the repair foil. Work Repair Powder into the damaged area with a gentle forward and backward motion. Warning: Excessive application of heat can cause damage to the base! After the material has cooled down completely, remove the foil. Scrape off and brush out.
