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 :-)

does snowboard need bigger scraper?

Someone has asked me to wax their board pre season.
I only have a ski scraper about 8" wide.
Does a snowboard need a wider scraper? Otherwise won't I damage the ptex?

GordonFreeman - I've done a fair few boards with a small scraper and it's been fine. There is one HUGE advantage to a wider scraper though - it takes a third of the time!

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

How do you avoid digging it into the ptex then?

Just be firm, but not over-zealous. On the boards I've done it was no-where near an issue.

I apologise in advance for this but have to say it.

Surley it should be the other way round...

GordonFreeman, I've found that the wide ones just flex too much & that it was hard to apply even pressure so I prefer to use a standard ski size scraper. A wide scraper won't work on a board with a rockered base. Can't see how you'd think a standard scraper could damage a board when awide one wouldn't?

spyderjon - now you're assuming that I'd want to do a good job on someone's board, rather than a quick one wink

Anyway - have I told you about the friend who bought the Klister wax by mistake. Kid you not, funniest thing I've ever seen at the top of a chair lift. Even the liftie was laughing...
