Just bought some woodies!!!
I just got a nice looking pair of wood xc skis at a local charity sale
and was wondering what I don't know about prepping and using them. Before I put gunk on the bottom do I need to prep/sand the bases? After I put gunk on the bottom, do I smooth it out in any special way, or just while putting it on. Should I store them clamped with extra camber? Are they alright with modern waxes (esp Start wax tape)? I think I heard about waxing the entire ski with grip wax, does this work ? gr |

Greg Fangel, a regular poster has a great site that answers most of your
questions. http://www.woodenskis.com/ I'd us only a small piece of Start wax tape. For most hard wax conditions you wax the entire ski. Maybe not with red and softer hard waxes.
