Greg’s Toko Hot Box Service

Posted: January 8, 2012 in Uncategorized

At Greg Christie’s, we have used Hot Box Technologies for over 6 years. 

Maybe it’s time to bring in your skis get them hot boxed and prepared for the season after all that skiing on damp grass and ice-covered parkways in November and December. 

Hot boxes are generally used to get soft glide waxes such as yellow deep into the base.  Once this has been accomplished, it is important to wax the ski with a hard wax such as blue to harden it up. 

Otherwise the base will be so soft, it will be white after just a few km in cold snow.

Here’s how to use the hot box to get good penetration:

1.  Wax the skis with a soft wax such as  yellow.

2.  Put the skis in the hot box at 62C for 6-8 hours.

3.  Let cool completely.  Scrape and brush.

4.  Iron in  blue, cool, scrape, brush, and repeat.

5.  Wax with the wax of the day.
