Subject: Re: [XC] BIRKIE TOKO WAX
RECOMMENDATION
Help! I'm preparing for my first Birkie and am worried
about doing a good job of waxing (skates). This last e-mail only made matters
worse. Can anyone help me decipher this, or offer other tips/advice?
Specifically, should the first two layers ALSO be ironed in, or just the
third? What DO you do, if not iron them? Why NOT scrape the third layer? How
do you polish? Is there an incantation I should be chanting while doing all
this? And by the way, what do y'all think of the new wax in a tube? I like the
idea of not breathing flouros.... Please pass on any solace and wisdom
you care to share. I guess I could just take them to a shop, but who? The
grouchy guy on Monroe St., or the snowboarders downtown? Yarghh....
Glide: Dibloc LF Molybdenum,
scrape, brush, Dibloc HF Blue, scrape, brush. Iron in JetStream Old
Snow, brush, and polish. Lightly rub on JetStream Old Snow and polish.
**Wave 2 and later should substitute HF Red for HF
Blue**
