With approach of the winter season each skier begins to prepare for the future skiing and pioneering new ski slopes. That skis didn't bring at midpoint, behind them the correct leaving is necessary. Than and how it is necessary to grease the sliding surface of skis?
Lubricant of skis
All lubricants for skis are divided into ointments of the continence and paraffin ointments of sliding. Ointments of the continence need to be applied on the clean dry surface of skis at the room temperature. Solid ointments should be applied thin layers, each of which has to be pounded separately. After this manipulation of the ski it is necessary to cool for twenty minutes at the temperature of-10 and half an hour at more high temperature. The last layer of solid ointments is usually put on the street.
The most quality and popular lubricants for skis are ointments of the Finnish, Norwegian and Italian production.
At snowfall or zero temperature ski dab needs to put out of the room and to expect it cooling for half an hour. At hit of moisture in lubricant, it can ice over therefore before drawing ointment it is necessary to warm and pass a little on skis the certain distance. If skis slip, it is necessary to put on them the additional layer of lubricant and if badly go – to grease them with solid ointment.
Rules of lubricant of skis
When greasing wooden or plastic skis it is necessary to apply with paraffin it on the back and front surface, and to apply ointment of the continence on the middle. The melted paraffin covers skis with droplets which then are leveled by the iron and are cooled for fifteen-twenty minutes. Residues of paraffin are removed from the sliding surface the special scraper, and the surface is processed by nylon fabric from the sock to the heel. When leveling of the melted paraffin drops the iron it is necessary to watch that they didn't smoke – for this purpose it isn't necessary to warm the iron more than up to 150 degrees. Lubricant for acceleration is applied on skis out of the room, literally in two-three minutes prior to start. If snow friable, it is possible to use nakatka, and for improvement of the continence the sliding surface should be cleaned and processed emery cloth then to grease with special ointment and to level it the hot iron. Then skis need to be cooled. When driving on rigid snow of the ski it is necessary to grease with soil which is applied on the holding surface, it is kindled by the iron and cooled out of the room. Over soil semisolid ointment (thin layers) is applied. When processing skis liniment, it needs to be squeezed out from the tube and to apply at an interval of two centimeters on the sliding surface, leveling ointment the scraper in the conditions of room temperature.
