View full detailsHow scrapers work
Scrapers are the tools you use to remove excess wax after you've heated it into the base. A good scraper allows you to work efficiently and bring out the ski's structure before you start brushing and polishing.
Different types of scrapers
- Plastic scraper – standard for glide wax, used to scrape off paraffin after it has cooled. Usually 3–5 mm thick.
- Metal scraper – used to remove glue and hard dirt in the grip zone. Should not be used on the entire base.
- Groove scraper – smaller tool for cleaning edges and details around the steel edge and groove.
How to use a scraper
- Let the wax cool completely after applying it with a waxing iron.
- Use a sharp, flat plastic scraper and scrape in the ski's glide direction.
- Hold the scraper at an even angle and work with long strokes.
- Clean edges and possibly the groove with a smaller scraper.
- Then brush out the structure with steel/brass and finish with nylon/horsehair.
Keep the scraper sharp
For the scraper to work effectively, it needs to be kept sharp. A dull scraper makes the work heavy and gives poorer results. Use a scraper sharpener to quickly restore a straight and sharp edge – it's an easy way to extend the tool's lifespan and achieve smoother scraping.
Tips for best results
- Ensure the scraper is always flat and sharp – sharpen it regularly.
- Use a plastic scraper for glide wax and a metal scraper only in the grip zone.
- Always brush after scraping to bring out the glide.
FAQ – Common questions about scrapers
Which scraper should I choose?
A 4 mm plastic scraper is sufficient for most. Feel free to complement with a metal scraper for glue and a small fine scraper for the edges.
How often should I sharpen the scraper?
As soon as it feels blunt or doesn't scrape evenly. With a scraper sharpener, it's quick to restore the sharpness.
Can I use a metal scraper on the entire base?
No, there's a risk of scratching the ski. Metal scraper is only for the grip zone and glue.
How do I know when I'm done scraping?
When you no longer get any wax residue and the structure is clearly visible, the base is ready for brushing.
