![]() Belt sanding is the best way to remove this material. More often than not, clean up is required for skis or boards that are heavily damaged or rusted. ![]() Generally, the point of wet belt sanding is to remove any wax particles still clinging to the base and to further polish the base edge. ![]() ![]() Factors like belt speed, pressure on the ski, and the speed at which the equipment is fed through the machine all affect how much material is taken off. With the base edges properly set, the next step is to run the base of your equipment across the surface of a wet belt sander. However this slight parting between edge and snow will also reduce friction, increase glide, and prevent skisfrom "biting" too aggressively in the snow. The 1 degree of edge that now separates base edge from snow will still allow for excellent hold. Unless otherwise specified, we will generally put a 1 degree bevel on your base. We like to get started by establishing the bevel on your base edge first. We pride ourselves on being an industry leader with our eco-conscious base treatment. Environment: PHANTOM Glide possesses no environmental harm, and it doesn’t wear off in the snow and end up downstream. It’s a game changer for both skiers and snowboarders. Performance: Increased glide allows for better control and predictability on all snow conditions, creating an overall better experience on the mountain. PHANTOM Glide is a one-time investment that pays for itself each time you go skiing or snowboarding. Continuously buying and dripping wax onto your bases gets expensive, especially if you’re getting it done by a shop a few times a season. With just one application of PHANTOM Glide, your bases are effectively treated, and will provide you with increased glide for the lifeof your ski or snowboard. Beyond that, there are three key benefits of PHANTOM Glide: Permanence: Waxing skis and snowboards is time-consuming and for optimal results, it needs to be done frequently. Simply put, PHANTOM Glide makes skiing and snowboarding more fun. After a single finishing pass with a roto brush or PHANTOM Glide Polishing Pad, your base(s) are fully treated and ready to glide. This can be accomplished using a PHANTOM Glide Cure Station. After PHANTOM Glide has been absorbed into the base, UV light is used to activate the curing process, permanently bonding PHANTOM Glide to the base material. Traditional wax is not capable of doing this because wax molecules are too large to move through the base material. Think of it as water filling a jar of marbles, just on a molecular level. With its patent-pending polymer technology, PHANTOM Glide uses microscopic short chain compounds to penetrate and diffuse into the unstructured sections of your ski or snowboard base. After just a few days, traditional wax wears off and glide performance diminishes. Wax is a temporary glide solution that functions only by coating the top layer of your base. PHANTOM Glide differs from traditional wax because iron on wax is not permanent. PHANTOM Glide is a permanent, high-performance base treatment for skis and snowboards that increases hydrophobicity and improves glide performance across a variety of snow conditions. This one-time cost of $159.95 includes ASBCO signature Phantom tune (small P-TEX included, core shots are repairable for additional cost), permanent application of PHANTOM Glide, and the use of PHANTOM Glides UV cure station.

Sometime after the tragic funeral, I found my neglected skis, recalled what my ski instructor had told me, and never let those skis rust or want for wax again. My skis rusted in the garage every year, but Julius grew to be the strongest hermit crab on the block. Base Repair is additional costĪn old ski instructor of mine used to tell me, “take care of what you love.” Well at the time, I loved my pet hermit crab, Julius.
