NMU Alpine Boarder Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 So some friends of mine thought it would be funny to put nordic kick wax on a friends board as a joke last spring for their last day of riding... Well, our local hill opens this weekend, and said friend wants to use the board.... What do I have to do to get board to glide again?

bobdea Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 citrus cleaner if this is a klister you're talking scrape it off with a metal scraper first if all else fails, grind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMU Alpine Boarder Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I have no idea what was put in there other than it was a SWIX kick wax that was hot ironed in... There is still some that can be scraped off, but for the most part, most of the excess is gone... I am assuming that I can't just hot scrape and pull most of it out?

sfleck Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 We used to use corn starch to get Klister off, so you might try that. Otherwise I'd just try to hot scrape it, and then rub it down with citrus cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Oh yeah, I bet that was funny, nearly ruining a board. I tell ya, some peoples kids... Back in my day practical jokes were pretty harmless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 citrus cleaner then hot scrape it a few times. should be fine. next time have them just rub on klister. same funny, less work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 now if you want a laugh, cut diagonal slits into the base with a razor into the base of the board. when you flex the board, they will open up and act like brakes For the record: 1. I would never...I hope you all know that... 2. Not even my own diabolical idea.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ursle Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 it's just wax every time you hot wax you add / subtract wax from the base, just put a coat on let it cool scrape it, put a coat on let it cool scrape it, it it was a warm klister, cut it with a cold wax a few times, no time at all it will be absorbed, your base will be proctected and no harm done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave ESPI Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Take a few runs on pure boiler plate ice and rocks........... Works like a charm for just about everything I've ever had stuck to teh bottom of my boards...... :hammer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tufty Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 now if you want a laugh, cut diagonal slits into the base with a razor into the base of the board. when you flex the board, they will open up and act like brakes For the record: 1. I would never...I hope you all know that... 2. Not even my own diabolical idea.... I generally carry at least one set of AT skins in my rucsack. As it happens, I was out with a mate last year at the same time I had an half-repaired set in the bag, where the end loop had torn off, and I hadn't had time to sew it back on. So, he needs to stop to answer the call of nature. Leaving his board with me, flat on the snow. Yes. Yes I did. How I laughed, as I climbed back up the slope and waded through the snow off the side of the piste where he'd thrown it after realising what was going on. Funny joke, though.
