Product Information
Full details
The TOKO Base Copper Brush is an essential maintenance tool designed for serious skiers and snowboarders looking to optimize their base performance. It is ideal for those who perform their own wax applications, as it excels at cleaning out old, oxidized wax and opening the base structure to ensure maximum wax absorption. While this brush is highly effective for base preparation, it should be used with caution on delicate surfaces and is intended for use prior to the final polishing stage of the waxing process.

FAQs
Can I use this brush on the final layer of wax?
No, this is a copper brush for base preparation. For the final polish, you should use a nylon or horsehair brush.
How often should I use this brush?
Use it every time you perform a full wax service to ensure the old wax is fully removed before the new layer is applied.
Will this scratch my ski edges?
While the copper is firm, it is designed for P-tex bases. Be careful to focus on the base material and avoid dragging the bristles directly across sharp metal edges.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes, but beginners should practice light pressure first to get a feel for how the brush interacts with the base material.
What is the bristle length?
The bristles are 1.5 cm (15 mm) long, providing a balance between firmness and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Brush is not removing enough old wax
Ensure you are using consistent, firm pressure and moving in the direction of the tip-to-tail structure. If the wax is very thick, perform a thorough scrape first.
Bristles are flattening or bending
Avoid pushing down too hard on the brush. The copper wire should do the work; if it bends, your pressure is likely too heavy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This brush requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately. It is compatible with all standard alpine ski and snowboard bases, though it is specifically recommended for base preparation rather than finishing.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, tap the brush against a hard surface to dislodge wax particles and debris.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from heat sources to maintain the integrity of the bristle mounting.
- Inspection: Periodically check the bristles for any bending or breaking; replace if the brush loses its ability to clear the base effectively.
