Thor VonRippington Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 food grade silocone spray is what a racer friend of mine uses... never tried it on my stuff ...or you could just leave your boards in the garage and they would never get snow on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveBomber Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 PAM works Ill bet, but it sounds messy! hows it work on the Base? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 :lol: I was thinking the same thing... never tried that either... but what a mess! I know a guy who wore a red one piece for many years. We cheerfully called it "The Weener Suit". As time went on it got tighter on him and the color started to fade. It totally looked like sausage casing. We couldn't help but laugh at him ever time he put it on. I'm pretty sure he only wore it at that point to get a reaction from us. One night the gang is hanging out and we keep hearing a spraying noise coming from the outside deck. We all go out there and... WTF!?!?!? Dude!... why in the hell are you spraying your ski suite down with Pam? Aparently it was the only thing he could find on short notice that might repel water since the weener suit had worn to thin threads and he was tired of getting wet. He left it hanging there "to dry" which of course it never did and the dogs kept trying to lick it and pull it from the hanger. Long story longer... he tried to wear it the next day and made a complete greasy mess out of himself... we didn't let him into the car and the weener suit died by grease that day..

DiveBomber Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Funny, I do have some mold release that might work. Or else i might check at the motorcycle shop I know they use a silicone lube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I've found that any hydrophobic coating will help to keep snow off the topsheet. Rain X has worked for me--as has car wax. As the snow tends to adhere to rough spots, dirt, and grime, it helps to regularly buff the topsheet like you would your car (if you wash and wax your car, that is).

I guess i should have been more specific. How to keep the snow from freezing to the top sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadx Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 A lot of ATV guys spray the inside of their fenders with various lubricants to keep as much mud from sticking and building up. I've never tried it and I'm not sure what is the best. I've heard of using WD-40 (yes, I know, not really a lubricant), PAM, silicone sprays, rain-ex etc. Not sure if any of those would work for snow and most would probably be bad for the board or, at a minimum, a heck of a mess. I just wipe as much snow off, as I can, at the bottom of each run and call it good enough. Some of it does get quite crusty, though, even in one run and become hard to knock off.

Slim Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 No car wax doesnt work. I guess i should have been more specific. How to keep the snow from freezing to the top sheet.Any hydrophobic coating will be compromised by dirt and grit. Car wax has worked for me--and might very well work for you, too. The trick is to keep your topsheet free of dirt and grime (a high-gloss topsheet helps, of course). Clean it thoroughly first. Then apply the wax (or rain x). Buff it occasionally to remove any dirt, film, gunk, particulates, etc. Without these surfaces to cling to, snow will simply slough off the deck. Or at least that has been my experience.

Guest kennyusmc Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Slim, I know that Rain X comes with a warning about applying to painted surfaces and plastics what kind of topsheet have you done this on ? thanks ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 WD40 isn't a lubricant... but the wd does stand for water displacement, which should keep crap off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
