IR GUIDE

Makes the task of ski waxing effortless and delivers phenomonal results. We tune several pairs of skis daily throughout the season and have enjoyed the ease of use of the IR waxer and the efficiency that it has provided and now continues to get better with the addition of the IR Guide.

I recently received the IR Waxing Guide. First impression is that this is solidly built, heavier than expected, and easy to assemble. Once setup, it made the process of waxing multiple skis exponentially easier. Being able to set the height a few inches over the ski base and just slide the waxer back and forth makes for precise heating with little effort.

The only downside is that it is a large (6 foot long) system and doesn’t break down easily for storage, so having a place to store fully assembled may be a challenge.

Very happy with this purchase.

Using the IR waxer without the guide is already pretty easy, but with the guide, you feel like you're getting that last 5% dialed just right. Even more true if you wax multiple skis at a time, it feels good to know that you're getting the type of consistency that you'd expect from a shop.

Assembly was easy.

Minor complaint is that it's not designed for convenient breaking down, so be sure you have somewhere to store it in its full length setup.

Great kit though, and I'd definitely recommend to anyone who waxes their family's skis.

due to some neurological issues, holding and using the ir waxer for long periods of time was possible, but difficult, for me. the ir guide makes waxing painless and precise. easy setup, no issues getting it working.

one caveat, and i could have done more research (i.e., actually read the specs): the bases of the guide, once set up, are much wider than i'd anticipated. i use a relatively small swix waxing table, and the bases of the ir guide are far too wide to fit on it. i would recommend a work area width of at least 50" minimum. 60" or more would be better. i've set up two stations for now, the guide on a second work table. i suppose another option would be to lay some plyboard across the waxing table to create more area. at any rate, the guide is nearly 7' long, end to end, so make sure you have adequate space. it's not difficult to disassemble and store the guide, but it's less portable than i'd hoped.

great product, all said.

I am so glad these finally came in. It makes my IR waxing so much easier and consistent. Whenever I see metal tubes like that, I brace myself for wobblyness but this feels rock solid and smooth. If you have the table top space, you will not regret this purchase.
