Don't forget a nice single malt
This visual learner is having trouble visualizing this. Would love a quick video of the process )I have taken the express route. Heat wax bar on the iron then while hot, rub onto base. Then iron slowly with no pressure, no rotation of the iron, lightly with temps that the wax look clear for abotu 4-6" behind the iron. With this method, there is very little excess wax on the ski, so there is no need to scrape. I will take a blue shop towel under the iron then go from tip to tail which will absorb most of the wax then I wil rotobrush once cool. No scraping, very little waste or mess.
Use the towel between the iron and the base and it absorbs the wax..no need to scrape..and no wax shavings to clean up.

I used a roto brush for the first time. I did two full length passes. Do people usually only do one or multiple pass with the brush? Thanks
Welcome to Roto World! "You can check out any time you like, but you will never leave!" (Hotel Cali) A few passes back and forth w/ the roto brush. Then I touch up w/ a nylon brush if needed then finish w/ Fibertex fine ( http://www.tognar.com/fibertex-scotchbrite-pads-fine-medium/ ) Then Zardoz ( http://www.tognar.com/brands/Zardoz.html )
Yes before waxing I use the Fibertex "Coarse", to touch up spots Medium........... then after waxing the Fine........ they work great.I use the fibertex at home with no roto brush.

This doesn't work as well on ch5 or harder waxes. The block hardens to fast for me get wax on the ski. Works great for 6 and up....but I still have to scrape.....use too much wax I guess
