No no no no. Did I say no? Bad bad bad bad.

Probably true.

I use the citrus based (and scented) "base
cleaner" that ski shops use and wax
immediately after. See also my note on
Zardoz "not wax" for sticky.

Hmmmm? I wonder if that's the same citrus based "acetone" that I use
to re grip my golf clubs? That's what they call it but it seems like a
different product to me. Not as drying. It does evaporate quickly
though.

That sounds like fingernail polish remover to me. I buy the lemon
scented fingernail polish remover because it's cheaper than industrial
acetone and it does the same thing.
