RaceWax Ski P-tex Base Repair Kit: 10 ptex, Metal Scraper, 3 3M Buffing Pads

First and foremost, I'd like to express my gratitude to Dr. D at RaceWax for his consistently excellent service. RaceWax has done an excellent job developing their P-Wax. Tex, and it blends in perfectly with the existing base. After using the provided metal scraper and a series of pads to properly scrape the gouge, I found it difficult to locate the original gouge after waxing and brushing. Listed below are some helpful hints for achieving success: Small scratches should be left alone unless you're a racer, in which case you should only repair the deep ones. Make sure the repair area is clean and dry, and hold the candle as close to the base as possible without extinguishing it or burning your base. Allow the tex to cool completely before scraping; begin scraping in the middle and work outwards; scrape well enough that the drops are no longer visible; and use the provided pads to blend into the existing grain pattern. If there are still P-drops visible, You haven't scraped enough around the gouge if you see Tex around it. Finally, don't be concerned if you can still see a small trace of your repair before waxing; if you use the proper waxing method (hot iron with a good base prep and top layer wax), this should almost completely vanish after brushing.

This was purchased in order to perform some repairs on my 30+ year old xc skis. It worked perfectly and was extremely simple to implement. Skiing on frozen gravel had left me with some pretty bad gouges and scrapes. I took some time to clean up the edges of the gouges and remove the wax base from the bases. I also preheated the bases with my waxing iron. The candle was lit, and the movement was slow and deliberate. To reduce the amount of carbon in the air, keep the candle close to your work and hold it at an angle. The included scraper made short work of leveling out the area after it had cooled down. I was ready for a base wax after a couple of quick passes with the scotch brite pads and a final buff with the white pad. I've only been out once since the repair (presumably because all the snow has melted), but the repair has held up admirably. I repaired about 4 feet with a third of a candle. It's much less expensive than buying a new pair of skis because the scratches are at least the width of a fingernail.

We'll buy used skis and snowboards in the valley to save money, as many people upgrade after a few years, but they're usually a little beat up. I bought this kit to fix core shots and have been very pleased with it because the black and white match most bottoms, the brillo pads are perfect for getting that smooth look, and the scraper works perfectly. It only takes a few minutes to make our old/new skis look brand new, and it also works for snowboards!.

I simply patched a few spots on my backcountry skis and they worked perfectly. I was surprised by how long and large the candles were. Each one is approximately 3/4" long. As a result, you're getting a lot of P- Tex. The scraper for metal is excellent. It's nice and sharp, but not at all flimsy. As a result, it's useful for removing excess P-. Tex, as well as any leftover wax. It has a sufficient amount of P- The average skier will get a lot of use out of Tex.

Last season, on the first day of the season, I took a pretty big core shot to my snowboard and watched some YouTube videos on how to repair Ptex. Everything you'll need to fix it was included in this kit. The fix lasted four hours. The majority of the material came out after 5 days on the hill. It would be nice if the kit included some of the larger square or rectangle pieces that are used for more extensive repairs. Aside from that, I have no issues.

Ptex was a lot of fun to use. I discovered that this was incredibly simple to use and that it did an excellent job of repairing some of my downhill ski equipment. It worked so well that all of my friends asked me to help them with their equipment problems. I'd buy this kit again if I ever needed it.

No long- Term report is still pending, but it held up for a single day of riding after a minor base repair. br>Gave it one star because the clear is basically useless unless you have a gun, as other reviewers have pointed out; If you're going to use a candle, make sure it's a good one. There will be a lot of carbon in it, and it will be a murky brown color with black chunks.

This is without a doubt the best ptex I've ever used. The repairs lasted through an entire season of hard skiing and appear to be in good shape. This is something I'll repurchase.
