what do you mean by the "back sheet"? the half of the ski behind the heel binding?

this is an industry secret so don't say I told you, but snowboard wax is actually the best wax to use on the backsheets, just use ski wax for everything else

To expose the back sheet you are going to need a standard masonry chisel

Don't forget the backsheet clamp for getting it re secured afterwards.
