if the IR waxer simply heats up the base so you can rub the wax in, couldn't you use a wax iron to heat up the base and rub the wax in? I've always used an iron/wax/drip because that's how I was taught but now I'm wondering why a heat/rub method wouldn't work for both?
I think with an iron you may end up overheating a part of the base, since bases are seldom as flat as irons ( so the iron only hits the base in high spots ). Maybe if you had a heat resistant towel of some kind in between to even it out. I’ve been using a hot air gun to ”pre-warm” the base (not a very warm garage) but then apply the wax the normal way with an iron.
I've been getting into rub then iron with maybe a tiny drip down the middle if needed. I keep the skis in the mud room to get as warm as they can before. Helping to eliminate wax waste so far.
I’m thinking the same thing but I know little on the engineering behind IR. Are there variables in the IR unit that mountain flow tuned specifically for waxing or is it pretty basic ?
A quick search for "IR Curing Lamp" shows Home Depot sells them for 68 dollars. A youtube vid called Advanced Topic IR Waxing on the Ski Fast Wax channel appears to show one of them in use.
+1 for the cat meow at the end
Hi Cameron, this looks like a great iron and review, however, I am also interested in your ski holder. May I ask what they are and where you got them?
Hi! Do you mean the skis behind me in this video? They are just leaning against the wall-no holder at all. Thanks for watching!
@@CameronMartindell I think he means your ski holder on the table - the orange ones. I'm also curious!
Upon further review - they appear to be the Happy Norwegian stands

Sounds like it’s worth a try!

@@avlehtineA heat gun (like the kind used on heat shrink) is an interesting idea.

Do you need to wear a respirator when you use the IR waxer?
Nope, during regular use I did not get any fuming - the only smoke came from the burn test. Thanks!
What about for snowboards?
Yup, works the same.
Nobody likes those.
250 for that light is a huge ripoff. Look up IR curing lamps, you can buy an light 3x the size of that on a stand for less than half that price
Let me know if you end up doing that and how it works-really curious to know. Thanks!
