Product Description
SIMPLYFAST was engineered to deliver top of the market performance, but without petroleum or other refined paraffins and particulates, so it applies a little differently than traditional wax. Simplyfast will provide you with a high performance base that is very durable, so you wax lasts longer. Simplyfast does not add chemicals or particulates into the product. Using different wax compounds, we engineered Simplyfast to have outstanding speed and durability.
Perform your waxing in a well-lit, well-ventilated area. Use safety glasses and gloves to protect your eyes and hands. Start with a clean base, free from dirt or old wax.
Set your iron to 165 degrees F, and melt a drop of wax onto the base every 1-2 inches from tip to tail. If smoke appears, reduce your iron's heat. If wax does not readily melt, turn the iron up a few degrees as all irons register differently.
Melt the drops into a thin coating, with the iron spreading the wax over the base using a tip to tail motion. DO NOT allow the iron to rest on the base, always keep the iron moving. Use quicker motions on tips and tails where the material is thinner to keep the equipment from overheating. Finish ironing the wax from tip to tail, smoothing the wax with long strokes.
After ironing, let the wax cool and set-up, for 2-3 minutes. Using a sharp scraper, scrape the base from tip to tail while the wax is still a little warm. Also, now is the time to remove wax from the sides of your edges, and the center groove if your skis have one. Scrape from tip to tail and repeat if needed to remove most of the wax.
Simplyfast is a low-friction, but harder wax than paraffin based waxes, so scraping while the wax is warm makes it much easier. You can use the iron for a couple of quick passes to re-warm the wax if it cools completely before scraping.
After scraping the first time, let your skis/board cool fully. If needed, scrape the base tip to tail if uneven spots remain.
For added protection, please use an N95 face mask while brushing and buffing steps below. Simplyfast is made with non-toxic ingredients, but brushing or buffing the wax can create fine particulates that go into the air. The N95 provides an easy to use barrier that is effective personal protection from any airborne wax particles.
Using a metal or nylon wax brush, or a 3M pad, smooth the wax out with long motions, from tip to tail. Finish by buffing Simplyfast with a soft cloth, or buffing wheel. Your ski or board will now have a very slick, very glossy, low friction coating that will pay you dividends on snow!
If you are skiing frequently, you will notice that Simplyfast lets you obtain more on-snow days between wax intervals. You may also find that you can restore the base finish with a quick buff between waxes.
