Hi all,
I've been considering making a ski wax hot box and I've reviewed the threads on here as well as other sites. I'm curious as to if there has been a change in thinking on hot boxing... Seems like it was very popular several years ago and now there is almost nothing about it. Was it a fad or was it just to much of a pain for most recreational skiers to do? It seems that getting good penetration of base prep wax on race skis early in the season makes a lot of sense, but it's also not that hard to do like 5 to 6 wax and cool cycles..
I'm looking at building a plywood box with a baseboard heater, heat shield / diffuser and thermocontroller with air circulation fan to keep temps around 150-155F. If anyone has an amazing design they think blows the doors off of what is already out there on the internets, please let me know.
