      How to wax...

      Please note: This is the procedure will not work for all skis. It will not work for the old wooden skis. Those require a different waxing procedure, which as soon as I find out, I will put in a section by itself. As long as your skis have a plastic-like base coat, this procedure will work for you.

      This is the method used by me (Rob Svensson) to wax my skis with the different kinds of wax. I am not an expert, just an ordinary average person. Do not take these methods as the way to wax skis, nor should you assume these are the "correct" ways to do it either, it's just the way I do it.
