Fixing ragged edge on skate skis
I have dinged and gouged my edges a few times so far this winter,
skiing in conditions that I probably should have avoided. Well I could find a lot of information on waxing skate skis, I haven't been able to find any information on the proper tools and techniques for straightening / burnishing the plastic edges on my skate skis. Does anybody have any tips or good links? |

If there's any ragged edges hanging off, cut them off with a razor sharp knife.
That will leave a smooth edge. I'd just leave it at that, although you could fill in the cut with a ptex candle. jw milwaukee |

I have wood showing for about an inch on the edge of one of my rock skis and they're still very fast. those same skis have some pretty deep gouges in the base, too. Don't sweat it. Keep waxing them like they're your newest pair and they'll keep gliding just fine. Bob |
