So basically I bought these 08/09 skis brand new a month ago in a sale. since then I have waxed and hot scraped them to take off the factory wax and now I'm on my third layer of wax (of six I'm planning to put on) before they touch snow. My problem is the black parts on the base, when heated is running. I drip wax on, and heat it into the base (just like mrstskier does in his waxing video) then as the wax heats up under the iron the black part starts to run. After its cooled it scrapes off along with the rest of the wax. Is this something to worry about? or normal on new skis? thanks
It doesn't look that bad in the picture because of the light - but every time I wax I end up scraping off a lot of it
