Tuning Tips Guide

Equipment Essentials

NOTES for Snowboarders: Large oval brushes are preferred; add a ratchet tool kit; get a large scraper; brake retainers are not needed.

Other handy items: Sandpaper; Painter's tape for covering ski/board while waxing; Plastic mesh "scrubbie" for wax removal from ski top & bindings; Paint brush to remove scrapings from base; the plexi scrapers I sell are the best, but I like to keep an inexpensive one like the molded plastic one I sell for the dirty jobs like hot-wax-scraping.
