Base Oil
Has anyone ever used base oil? What does it do that regular wax doesn't?
Thanks! |

Base Oil
Skikick is probably talking about Rex Base Oil. I used it and like it
alot. After the treatment my skis are nice and "oily/greasy". I always do the treatment for my new skis, after stone grinding, and after thorough cleaning. Here's what Rex website has to say: "Rex Fluor Base Oil makes the base preparation of all new skis definitely easier. Apply a thin layer of oil and let it absorb into the base, the longer the better - e.g. overnight. Wipe away any leftover oil and continue with base wax and Rex Blue 423. One treatment with base oil and paraffin is equal to 2-3 wax treatments. Treat skis with Base Oil also after stone grinding." http://rex.fi/en/accessories/removers-and-ski-care/ I hope this helps. -Finn On 2012-06-19 01:05:11 +0000, gr said: On 6/18/2012 7:20 PM, skikick wrote: Has anyone ever used base oil?

Guess I should have read the description a little closer regarding it's actual properties (i.e. similar properties to prep wax). Seems that it's similar in purpose, just a different application process! Still wondering there are any advantages using base oil in terms of changes to the ski base. I am sure if there are, this will catch on... |
