Ideas for heating the wax area
This year my wax bench is in a cavernous two-car garage, which by condo
rules has to be kept at a minimum of 50F. Since it would be a lot more comfortable and efficient for waxing if my work area was a bit warmer than that, I'm thinking about adding a portable heater rather than turning up the thermostat. Electricity is very expensive in Montana. Anyone have good (or bad) experiences with any specific kind of area heater for this kind of use? I use a DeLonghi oil-filled radiator in my bedroom and like the style, but wonder if that would be quick or direct enough in one corner of the garage. Thanks, Gene |

Ideas for heating the wax area
For years I've used plastic over a hardwood or fake hardwood floor.
Those can be cleaned easily enough. But in walking on and off a cover over a carpet, there's no way to keep the latter from picking up clumps of wax. And getting wax out of a carpet is tricky, to say the least. Plus, the spare bedroom is two floors up from the garage, where the skis are stored. Gene gr wrote: Buy a really big tarp? gr |

It uses the same size cannister as your klister torch. I just set it below the bench and it seems to work OK. At home in a heated room I use he opposite method that JFT described. I wear sandles while waxing, floor is covered with a heavy mil poly and I take the sandles off as I leave the plastic before just step onto the carpet...missed you at the Troll today, it is about 85% covered and was pretty fast.
