Axis Rectangle Nylon/brass Brush

The Brush

This little rectangle does two jobs. Brass bristles on one side, nylon on the other, both mounted on one compact brush you can toss in a tuning kit or a glove box. It's a basic, honest piece of gear.

How to Use It

Brass side first. Run it down the base to knock off oxidation and open up the structure before you wax. The nylon side to pull the excess wax out of the structure once it's cooled. Straight lines, tip to tail, a few passes.

Pro Tips

Don't lean on it - let the bristles do the work, especially with the brass side. Too much pressure on brass can scratch a base that doesn't need it. And this is a hand brush, so a full pair of skis takes some real elbow grease compared a machine setup.

Why Willi's

We've been tuning skis in the South Hills since 1970, and a good hand brush is still part of getting a base ready for Pennsylvania hardpack. Stop into any of our three locations and we'll show you the technique for free.
