Skis should always slant

installed harnesses. Use
great care in drilling holes.

They must be accurate and -

not too deep. Apply epoxy
glue to screws, which fasten
bindings to synthetic skis, to
guarantee that no ripping out
of bindings will occur on the

Ski Base Treatment

Remove the factory base
coating on wooden skis with
sandpaper. Apply a pinetar,
either cold or warm, with a
spray or brush, to seal the
wooden bases from moisture.

To prepare your synthe-
tic ski bases, apply a paraffin
alpine or cross country glider
wax over the entire base.
Once erayoned or dripped on
with heat, iron the wax
smooth. Allow it to cool.
Scrape the excess off with a
plastic or metal scraper and
polish the base smooth. The
‘hairy’ fibres on some P-Tex
bases will disappear through
this process.

Some factory-

In order to obtain the
necessary grip, wax must
accept partial penetration by
snow crystals. Your weight
and forward motion will
cause the snow crystals to
melt. Your skis glide on a
thin layer of moisture re-

process.
