I have a box of 2.0 that I received for being a smartass on instagram. Would you guys apply this stuff to a low-tide & tree/bump ski which will see more rocks and gnar, or the high-tide planks that get the fluff?

If i had my druthers I might have put it on the Cochise ... the week after it snows ski
Agree. For me that's my "travel ski" that I plan to take out of the country for a couple weeks at a time where I won't have access to my tuning bench.Quote:

The prospect of it staying on skis when ripping skins is appealing. Repairs looks do-able, just keep a little extra on-hand for base repairs.
Too bad it doesn't come in a gorilla glue-like sealable bottle for such things.
Anyone have the 2.0 applied at any shops in New England? I see a good amount of shops have the cure station but looking for one thats done a decent amount of these / wont fuck it up
I am gonna jump in with my new skis this year that will be my primary skis. My every once in a while skis will probably just be waxed. I think definitely finding a shop with a proper cure machine is the way to go.
Meh it's not that hard to do yourself especially now that it takes WAY less time to cure.
Where are curing in the winter on your own?Quote:

I have a box of original phantom 1.0 that's been sitting in my room for probably 2 years now. Think it's still good to throw on some new skis or is it better off tossing it and going for fresh stuff?
Edit: According to DPS there is no shelf life/expiration date. Gonna go for it.
This shit went away fast

What do you do for storage?
I fucked up before and didn’t storage wax, ended up with rusty edges. I know, less humidity in the storage locker.
Are you storage waxing the phantom?
Maybe oil the steel edges?
you can still wax a ski that has been phantom glided
I didn't realize this till recently. Definitely adds to the appeal imo. I've got a freebie sitting on my bench at work I'm going to throw on my rock/spring slush/current daily drivers for next season. Figure I'll give it a go.Quote:

But any thoughts on protecting the edges during summer?
Could be a market niche for a new product?
Tune edges for the next season and then give them a light rub with a block of wax. The very thin film of wax will repel moisture/prevent rusting but will ski off in a run or two. Zardoz Notwax/Base Boost is also a good rust preventative on edges.Quote:

As someone who is getting ready to store a bunch of demo ski for next season... I appreciate this.Quote:

As long as they're not in a leaky shipping container in a sunny parking lot you should be good.Quote:

I have started doing this after almost every time I ski since moving somewhere damp and salty. Way faster than waxing every time but does a good job keeping the rust away.Quote:

It's still useful to wax phantom especially if you are touring in near freezing conditions. I've had phantom bases ice up in spots probably related to skin glue too. Maybe I did a bad job of phantoming, or who knows, but seems less bad than non-phantom skis.
I ran the ski for a season without waxing but never got a chance to wax a the ski that had been phantom-ized
