i just waxed my skis with a candle that i melted with an iron onto the skis scraped and smoothened the surface..tested the skis on slopes.seems like my skis made a squeeking sound on the snow..but all in all it worked well
Yes, for waxing Snowboards/Skis you will need to use tuning wax which you can usually buy at a sports shop on the mountain...
no
Yes, but why would you? If a low fluoro wax is needed ... then use a low fuoro ... which is less expensive than mixing a non-fluoro one with a high fluoro one. I use the super expensive one's when racing, keep my race skis "prepped" with a high quality non-fluoro wax and only use the fluoro for a race. For my recreational skis they just have a quality non-fluoro wax on them.
NO. Use beeswax. Candle wax is too brittle and won't adhere well.
The candle wax is an insulator.
Ski wax lets the skis glide over snow.
No, you should not wax scaled cross-country skis. This style of ski is scaled for the purpose of not having to wax at all. However, if you want to improve your speed on scaled skis, you could glide wax the bottoms of your skis outside of the scaled area. Glide wax is a type of hard wax applied by melting, ironing, and scraping the ski. It is different from kick wax, which is a sticky wax that would be applied in place of scales.
Candle wax is the fuel a candle uses to keep burning. So, I guess the effect of the wax is the candle keeps burning.
Candle wax are generally organic compounds. melting of candle wax is a physical property
The topic of candle wax could lead to the question 'how is candle wax manufactured'. Although many people use candles, few people know or understand how they are made.
Use old candle wax , melt it down pour into glass container and let harden. Or you can try melting old newspaers with candle wax for a unique creation.
You can only use melting wax for that
