Regarding hot waxing, getting it right without damage the ski base is a combination of learned skill and having the right tool.
For irons, that means a true digital iron. By “true”, that doesn’t mean a digital readout, it means the actual temperature at the irons’ surface is sampled by a microprocessor. Cheap irons use a thermostat, which regulates the flow of electricity.
A story to make the point. We once had a customer return a digitial iron becuase when it was applied to the ski base the temperature gauge went down in temperature, whereas his cheap iron stayed the same. Hmmmm, the cheap iron stayed the same because it was only regulating the flow of electricity that should, maybe, possibly, result in the desired temperature at the iron’s surface. The expensive iron? The gauge indicated a lowered temperature because the heat at the irons surface was transferred to the ski. Real time, real world information.
To our knowledge, this long available digital iron from Toko has been one of the most affordable.
Accurate digital temperature display up to 160°C (320°F)
Temperatureis monitored and regulated by a microprocessor
14 mmthick die-cast aluminum ironing surface helps maintain a stable temperature
Rounded edges help it glide smoothly in all directions
– LED status light indicates when the iron is ready for use
