Just curious i remeber seeing redbull stickers in thalls bases a while back and i was thinking , if you took all the wax off, put the sticker on the base then put wax over it would it work?

hmmm i have no idea... my friend has skis that are signed on one of the bases that he waxed over that hasn't come off so maybe it could work. that's a very interesting idea tho

really now, lets think about this

when you wax, you scrape all the wax off the surface of the base every time, leaving a clean base. so you would be on the sticker every time you ski

so no, it would not work, please use your brain from now on before making threads

It would work if you left a ass load of wax over it actually. I've seen a ski tip wrapped in duct tape (broken tip) and waxed over, was rideable. Better than unwaxed duct tape.

dude... stickers are so much slicker than wax

just coat your bases in stickers and you will be sooo much faster.

dont listen to these fools.

apply stickers to ALL of your base and you will never need to wax again.

Use your head, well your brain, and try not to always fall on it, that may allow you to use it.

Step 1: trace the outline of the sticker onto the base
Step 2: get out part of base
Step 3. Apply sticker
Step4. Get some clear ptex and apply over sticker. OR if your base is clear just epoxy back down.
Step 5. Buy a new pair of skis because you probably just fucked yours up

You laugh, but a ski tech I know played a prank on his buddy who got a coreshot. Dude sank a dime into the base and p-texed over it when he fixed it. If you know your shit and are really that bored, go for it.

^^experienced shop tech can do that without a problem; just saying, i had a huge coreshot last year and my tech replaced a piece of base the size of a matchbox, without any trouble....

so the sticker underneat some clear ptex might work (if it adheres good enough....)

If you want your bases to be fucked up then go ahead.
