Which qualities
of colltex® adhesive ski skins can
I buy?
100% Mohair
– absorbs less moisture, so there is no or little wrinkling. Has
very good gliding properties.
Mix
(mohair/synthetic fibres) – very robust adhesive ski skin; nylon
reinforcement gives good climbing properties
Synt
(100% synthetic fibres) – very robust adhesive ski skin with very
good climbing properties. As the synthetic fibres absorb a lot of moisture,
the adhesive ski skin has to be impregnated regularly, otherwise it
becomes very susceptible to wrinkling.
Adhesive
ski skins glide poorly and are very susceptible to wrinkling
Impregnate the plush side of the adhesive ski skins
with colltex® skinproof. During a ski
tour, the adhesive ski skins should only be treated with impregnating
wax on the plush side.
Constant
backsliding during ascent
Were the adhesive
ski skins centred when I pulled them on? Do the adhesive ski skins match
my skis?
Adhesive ski skins no
longer adhere properly to the ski after an intermediate descent
Put the adhesive ski skins under your jacket if it
is very cold, or during intermediate descents. Before you pull them
on again, the covering must be free of snow and moisture. Use colltex®
quickspray or quicktex.
The adhesive ski skins detach from the end
during a ski tour.
Clear the snow away
from the end of the ski skin. Use colltex®
quickspray or quicktex.
Can I re-coat colltex®
adhesive ski skins myself?
Yes, you can
use the solder bit (including the spatula attachment) to remove the
adhesive completely. Then apply new adhesive uniformly from the tube
(see instructions for use) or re-coat with colltex®
transfer tape.
