If you notice scratches, gouges, or small holes in the base of your skis, that's a good time to consider using PTEX. PTEX base repair sticks are designed to fill in minor damage caused by rocks or rough terrain.

• For deep core shots or edge damage, it's best to consult a professional.
• PTEX works well for surface-level repairs and helps keep your skis gliding smoothly.
• Regular maintenance can extend the life of your equipment and improve your experience on the slopes.

After applying PTEX to your skis, it typically takes about 10–15 minutes for the material to cool and harden.

• Let the repaired area sit until it's completely solid before scraping and smoothing.
• Factors like room temperature and thickness of the repair can affect curing time.
• Once set, you can finish the base with a scraper and brush for best performance.

To repair ski bases using PTEX sticks, follow these steps:

1. Clean the damaged area and remove any loose material.
2. Light the PTEX stick and drip the melted material onto the gouge.
3. Let it cool and harden completely.
4. Scrape away excess PTEX so it's flush with the ski base.

This process can help restore smoothness and glide, but for larger repairs, professional service may be needed.

PTEX ski repair is a method for filling in scratches and small gouges on the base of skis or snowboards.

• The PTEX material bonds to the base, creating a smoother surface.
• This helps maintain glide and protects your gear from further damage.
• It's a quick fix for minor issues, allowing you to get back on the slopes faster.

Yes, PTEX sticks are suitable for repairing minor base damage on snowboards as well as skis.
