Base prep ski wax deeply penetrates into the ski base in just a few cycles vs. waxing with an iron, which can take up to 20+ cycles for full saturation. Hot boxing results in greater base protection and faster skis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSki bases are made of a polyethylene plastic material (p-tex). Inexpensive, entry level ski bases are made of extruded polyethylene, which is formed into a sheet of plastic using high heat. Extruded p-tex has little ability to absorb wax. Performance ski bases are made of sintered polyethylene powder that's pressed together under high pressure to bind the grains of polyethylene together leaving microscopic spaces. These spaces have the ability to absorb wax, which is necessary to protect the base from damage due to the high friction created while skiing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaxing with a hot iron only allows a small amount of wax to be absorbed before the base overheats. Therefore, it takes many repetitions to reach maximum wax penetration. Skis in a hot box, set at 50°C to 55°C for 2-4 hours can safely absorb enough wax to fill the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHot Box Wax Saturation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron in base prep wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold skis in hot box oven to maximize deep base lubrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrape and brush skis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron in mid-temperature hydrocarbon wax to increase hardness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold skis in hot box oven for total penetration of wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DASH RACEGEAR","offers":[{"title":"Hot Box Wax Saturation","offer_id":58001656021375,"sku":"5114","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/8699\/3535\/files\/hot-box-wax-service-1.jpg?v=1784329825","url":"https:\/\/dashracegear.store\/products\/hot-box-wax-service","provider":"Dash Racegear Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
