General Tips Wet-Polishing Fluorinated Author: Scott Stanton     For those of you looking to squeeze every ounce of performance out of your waxing efforts, try this relatively little known technique when brushing down fluorinated waxes: After scraping iron or cork applied hot wax &/or speed overlays, spray down the base with CLEAN water from any ordinary household spray bottle (water must be completely absent of detergents or cleaning agents that may have been in that bottle). With the bases completely covered with a fine mist of water, brush out the structure from tip to tail using short, overlapping strokes with a medium to long bristled nylon brush. Repeat this technique 2 to 3 times replenishing water as necessary. The result of this process is a finely polished surface void of wax particles normally difficult to remove from standard brushing techniques. It has also been reported to decrease the static generating effects caused by friction against polyethylene bases. Regardless of what's going on here, you will most definitely end up with faster skis! Back to Tips
