Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Eco Friendly wax, P-tex

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I know there are some eco friendly waxes out there but I am yet to find something in the base repair department. I work in a ski shop and I'm trying to find some alternatives to P tex or best practices cause those fumes are nasty stuff. Any one have some experience or knowledge in this area?

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yea, I have looked into fans and such but I would like to eliminate it completely

Given it has to bond to the base and have the same properties I think you're out of luck. I guess you could cut out the repair area and replace it with some other material. Wouldn't have the same properties but might not matter that much if its small.

Fair enough, has anyone tried using the base repair irons? http://www.tognar.com/tognar-p-tex-base-repair-iron-120v-us-can/ Pretty much eliminate any fumes that way...

klamfish, for a moment I went dreadfully cynical. Then I thought: no new poster has ever come on to snowheads and started a thread with a view to plug a product. So I am sure you haven't.

Someone who worked a lot on bases once told me that Araldite actually breaks down the UHMWPE is contacts and as such shouldnt be used if you want the ski to last a long time...

I have no 1st person evidence but he generally knows his stuff

klamfish, That kind of money on a temp asjustable soldering iron - they've seen you coming old boy. You can pick up similar on amazon for half the price, plus it uses standard fit tips so they'll be much cheaper to use and replace too.

Heres the link - http://www.amazon.co.uk/TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED-SOLDER-STATION-IRON/dp/B003HLP9JQ?tag=amz07b-21
