The coarseness of the structure should increase as the speed of the event increases. Different structures can be laid over each other to break up the repetitiveness of the structure. The broken pattern is used to break up the free water running through the structure and reduce suction. If a constant pattern is used, the free water will start to follow the pattern and lose its effectiveness.
Find an expert in your area for advice on what structure is running best for the local conditions. The structure on a freshly ground ski needs to be "de-fanged", meaning the new structure can have high points like the points of a pyramid that should be removed.
This is done with the pads sold here or by waxing and scraping. Since the humidity is high, this works best by wicking away the moisture from the board. After waxing, use a good hard brass brush down the board, then at 45 degree angles both ways across the board. Opening up the structure is key, so brush until no wax remains in the structure.
Also, when using the powders at this temperature, buff the powder, and then use a nylon or horsehair to remove the excess. A board's base is wide and the key is to move water out efficiently. Brush well, usually with a cold harder wax, getting deep isn't as important. Here the idea is to keep water under the board. You need a thin film of water for speed.
How to prepare a ski after applying a stone-ground structure: Remove any wax that the shop laid down. The process below removes micro hairs from the surface of a freshly ground base. Use the gray fibertex pad from the 3-pad fibertex set, with a brush over it you're pressing on the brush to get even pressure for the pad underneath that is touching the base. Go over it about 50 times in both directions. The kit includes the tool body and four rollers This clever tool is used to imprint a structure into Nordic ski bases.
A structured base helps the ski glide more efficiently across the snow surface. Three rollers are included with the kit covering the gamut of potential snow conditions and Toggle menu Gift Certificate Login or Sign Up 0. Quick view Details. Toko sku: TOK Add to Cart. For classic skiing it is used on coarse wet snow.
In general, it is better to use a somewhat finer structure than a structure too coarse. There are no exact rules when to use the different structures. Generally, we can say that linear structure and broken linear structure V are mostly used in classic races. Use of the different imprint steels will vary with the underlying stone grind.
