mountainFLOW Infrared Waxer

A traditional iron melts wax by direct contact, which often leads to uneven heating and excess wax buildup. The infrared waxer uses radiant heat to warm the base material itself, allowing the wax to absorb deeper into the pores of the ski or snowboard base without the need for heavy, messy scraping afterward.

Correct. Because the infrared technology promotes deeper absorption into the base, you typically only need to perform a quick brush-out to remove any surface residue. This eliminates the bulk of the scraping process entirely.

Yes, the infrared waxer is designed to work effectively on the bases of both skis and snowboards. Its application method is versatile enough to accommodate the different widths and shapes of various gear.

It is optimized for use with standard ski and snowboard waxes. However, for the best results and to ensure the infrared technology functions as intended, we recommend using high-quality, compatible wax formulas.

It is generally more intuitive than a traditional iron since you don't have to worry about burning the base or managing hot metal plates. You simply pass the tool over the base, and the infrared light handles the penetration, making it a very beginner-friendly process.
