FAQs
Does this kit include a waxing iron?
No, the kit does not include a waxing iron. You will need to provide your own iron to apply the included hot wax.
Can I use this for both skis and snowboards?
Yes, the tools are versatile and designed to handle the maintenance requirements for both skis and snowboards.
How do I know which bevel angle to use?
A 0-degree bevel is standard for most recreational use, while a 2-degree bevel is often used for a more aggressive grip on icy slopes.
How often should I use the Ptex strips?
Ptex strips should be used whenever you notice deep gouges or scratches in your base that expose the core or significantly impact glide.
How do I clean the files after use?
Use the included wire brush to vigorously scrub the teeth of the file to dislodge any accumulated metal shavings.
Troubleshooting
The wax is not spreading smoothly.
Ensure your waxing iron is set to the correct temperature for the specific wax type and that the base surface is completely clean and dry before application.
The file is sliding without removing material.
Use the wire cleaning brush to remove packed-in base material or metal filings from the file teeth, and ensure you are applying even pressure.
Ptex is not adhering to the base.
Deeply clean the gouge with a base cleaner to remove all wax and debris before applying the Ptex, and ensure the base is not too cold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your skis or snowboard are dry and at room temperature before performing any maintenance. Secure your gear firmly on a stable workbench using a vise if available to prevent movement while filing. When using the edge tool, always push from tip to tail with consistent pressure. After using the metal file, use the included wire brush to clear away metal shavings to prevent rust and maintain filing efficiency. Clean the plastic scraper after every use to ensure a flat, smooth edge for your next waxing session. Store the entire kit in a cool, dry place to prevent the oxidation of metal components.
