Yard Sale Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I've got a new O'Sin 4807 in my hands and hot wax supplies on the way. (I bought Dominator wax because they sponsored SES.) How do you deal with waxing/scraping the boat hull shape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 but just the same as any other board, if you want to spend the time I guess you could cut a peice of plexi with a curve to it to ease scraping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ-PS Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Maybe I'll get flack for this....but I don't really worry about it. I wax it best I can and scrape it best I can, but it doesn't come out pretty like the rest of the board. I figure that the hull is really only gonna push the snow one way or another, so I'm not so concerned about the friction. However I did find that the type of wax I used made a noticeable difference. I used warm weather wax at the end of last to slather up the boards for storage then we got a crazy dump so I yanked out the 4807. When I was riding the backcountry I was surprised at how slow it was going through the dry new pow. jus my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randy S. Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Be very careful if you give it to a shop. Even if they know it has a boat nose, there's a good chance they'll mess it up grinding it. As to your question, mine never looks really pretty up front there. I just try not to put too much wax on and then scrape and buff it with a brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Instead of scraping the nose to death, I use a brass brush to dewaxify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Sale Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 OK I know I said "base" in the topic title, but what do you think of the edges on new 4807s? Mine seem kinda dull, but I know precisely jack shjt about edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine seem kinda dull, but I know precisely jack shjt about edges. Its a powder board. What do you need edges for? Just get a gummi stone and get rid of burrs. Seriously, if you are riding that thing in hard pack, you need to buy another board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
