Peter from McBike and Sport Smithers demonstrates how to apply glide wax, scrape and brush xc skis as well as prep the kick zone for grip wax application.
Greetings! Thanks for the great tutorial! My question: should we really wait for ~ 5 minutes for wax to completely cool down until we scrape it off? If glide wax is best diffused into the base only at the moment with the highest temperature reached, when the iron is melting it, maybe it would make more sense to make some more proper iron passes (not overheating the base) and not waiting for the excess wax to cool down for a longer time, just scraping it off in a minute or even faster (for harder waxes)?
For the rotobrush do you brush tip to tail and cover the kick zone area?
I would really like to see the same process with the rotobrush instead.
Good video, thanks! How often should we wax the skis?
