Toko Base Brush Copper

Whether you are brand new to waxing your own skis or an old hand, this is an essential brush for training and racing wax. The beauty of copper is that it is nearly idiot-proof. The softer bristles of the copper are gentler on your skis’ base stucture than other metal brushes, but still do a great job removing most surface wax. I use this brush before waxing to “open up” and clean out the base a bit. After waxing, I use a groove scraper and a plexi scraper to remove most visible wax, then move on to this brush to take out the majority of what is left on the ski. (Remember, always brush tip to tail only). The number of brush passes on the ski varies by the hardness of the wax used as well as how much you scraped; it is safer to scrape less and brush more. I usually do about 10-20 passes.After using this brush, I switch to a relatively stiff white nylon brush to give the base a good polish. Normal people can stop right there. OCD ski preppers can finish off with a soft blue nylon brush for that last 1% of cleaning and polishing. Clean the brushes and your waxing area floor with a vacuum, and you are ready to ski!

Good brush for opening up the base.

Before I apply wax to a ski or snowboard, I first want to clean the base. I use a copper brush to for this.I run the metal brush down the ski from tip to tail a few times.
