Ski Waxing

[Adirondack Johnny]

Artech (logo on the brush) was a ski race supply shop that closed last year ( roughly) after 34 years in business. That is a box of somebody who raced.

Correct. Everything had tags with a name and "Ford Sayre" on it.

I'll take a picture tomorrow. There's this small salt looking wax bottle and some metal angles, also some kind of little stand thingys. This guy definitely knew what he was doing. I still have a few skis that came with all this. They were smooth, clean, and sharp. Just way better than how I do it.

Salt-looking wax is probably a super hard wax that melts more easily as a powder than when it's in a block.

Or, possibly a fluoro overlay that's super pricey.

I have an Artech brush and never raced.

Here’s what SWIX says about fluoro ski wax.

I think it was $300 for 13 pairs of skis, a Thule roof rack, some boots, poles, and that whole kit with twice as much wax. All the skis where recently tuned. Mostly Racetigers and a nice pair of Supersport All Stars. Some of them were old like for decorations or ski chair type things.
I actually sold a pair with boots in the driveway of the house.

You should be arrested for larceny for the tools alone. Looking forward to seeing what the unidentified items are. Probably base or side bevel guides.

If you got the attachment those roto brushes go on you got a steal. Those brushes are like 35 dollars. You mind me asking what the entire take cost you?

I can't tell the brand... Red Creek rotobrushes are ~$75.00 tho.

Not seeing the relevance to identifying the OP's haul. Seems like some attempt to sidetrack the discussion.

Nope.
This is a ski waxing thread...
AJ (not OP) indeed gotta great deal even if he never uses any of fluoro ones in the loot.

This is the stuff that looks like salt. How in the hell is that enough wax for even one ski?

I've recently learned this is an iron holder.

DB Coop for the win?

Why?

The black thing is a Skiman sidewall planer. I don't use gloves myself, but most of the tuning advice sites recommend using them. Yellow Toko plastic thing is a wax scraper sharpener.

CH3 is super hard wax for very cold conditions. I use it as an additive to other waxes as it holds up really well on abrasive snow. The powder form makes it way easier to iron than the drips you get with CH4.

This is quite a haul. Can't fathom why they sold this for so little.
