![]() ![]() For all temp wax, heat up your iron to 100-120 for all-temp wax – you don’t want your iron to be too hot or you’ll cook your base. It’s best to use a proper snowboard iron, but at a stretch, a regular household iron bought on market-place clothes iron can still work. This is actually an important step that is often overlooked but can significantly improve a snowboard base’s ability to absorb wax. Wipe down the base using a brush and then some citrus-based cleaner to remove any dirt, edge shavings, or other shit on your base. Detuning is mostly rider preference, but the more you detune your edges, the less catchy they’ll be. If you’re a park rider, this is a good time to do any detuning you might want. Use a gummy stone to get rid of any rust and run the file guide along the edges (from nose to tail) using long, smooth strokes to smooth out any burrs or gouges. Get your board nice and secure in some tuning vices or a solid saw-horse set up and make sure there’s no wiggle.
