VOLA Base Repair Candle for Snowboard and Ski

VOLA base repair candle: repair the base of your board or skis

This VOLA base repair candle is a VOLA graphite / P-Tex candle for repairing snowboard and ski bases. It is clear, so it works on any type of base without worrying about the colour not matching.

It is a repair candle 8 mm in diameter and 19.5 cm long. You can buy it on its own or in a pack of 4 if you want plenty of spares for several repairs or for the whole ski or snowboard season.

How to use it

Heat the tip of the P-Tex candle with the corner of your waxing iron or a lighter. Let the drops fall into the hole in the base to fill it properly. Leave it to cool for about 5 minutes and scrape off any excess material above the base level with a metal scraper or a cutter. Afterwards, if you think it necessary, you can wax the board as usual.

It is a home repair designed for scratches and small surface holes; if the damage to the base is deep or affects the structure of the board, it is better to take it to a professional to check it before you keep using it.

Always having a VOLA base repair candle to hand is a simple, cheap way to extend the life of your gear and stop a scrape on a rock from putting your board out of action mid-season.

It is a small, light product, easy to carry in your backpack or the boot of your car, so you can always have it ready for an emergency repair before heading up the slope or right after a freeride session where you have hit a rock.
