Instructions

(Details for perfectionists - titles only, for people in a rush)

1. Flaten the scratch with f. e. a cutter knive

- Remove lose baseparts.
- Remove lose wood- and fiberglass parts etc.
- Cut the slope edges of the scratch straight to 90°.
- Flaten bulged base area.
- Also if it is heart-breaking: making the scratch deeper will increase the bonding and simplify the handling.

2. Roughen the scratch with sandpaper (only helpful for fine scratches)

3. Clean and dry the scratch

- Remove dust etc. with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
- Remove grease etc. with f. e. acetone and let it dry.
- The scratch has to be dry, to continue with the next step. 
- Warming up can be helpful.

4. Pour Eiselin HRP Basepowder (Hybrid Reactive Polyethylene) into the scratch and press it firmly 

Scratches, less than 2mm in depth :

Pour Eiselin HRP Basepowder (Hybrid Reactive Polyethylene) from the bottle directly into the scratch (fine dust, do not inhale). Fill it as even as possible to the base, but always a little bit higher and also a little bit over the edges of the scratch. If you take too few, the result can be an uneven base.  You can repair that with a second layer. If you take to much, it can be more than 2mm in thickness, what can lower the bonding in the lowest level of the repair area. 

 Press Eiselin HRP Basepowder firmly with f. e. a cutterknive or spatula (see our webshop).

Scratches, deeper than 2mm (very thick bases or holes from the bindings…):

Work in 2 (or more) layers (otherwise it could lower the bonding in the lowest level of the repair area. First pour Eiselin HRP Basepowder from the bottle directly into the scratch (fine dust, do not inhale), but not higher than 2mm and that enough space for a second layer will remain. Than drip Eiselin Reactive Basefluid on the Eiselin HRP Basepowder, a few drops are enough, the Eiselin HRP Basepowder has to be imbued by the Eiselin Reactive Basefluid. When the Eiselin Reactive Basefluid  drops off, its enough. 

Dont inhale the fumes. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

Start with the next layer immediately. For the last layer see above instructions.

5. Drip Eiselin Reactive Basefluid on the Eiselin HRP Basepowder (Hybrid Reactive Polyethylene) 

Drip Eiselin Reactive Basefluid on the Eiselin HRP Basepowder, a few drops are enough, the 

Eiselin HRP Basepowder has to be imbued by the Eiselin Reactive Basefluid. When the Eiselin Reactive Basefluid drops off, its enough. Dont inhale the fumes. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Dont let drop Eiselin Reactive Basefluid from to high to prevent dropholes in Eiselin HRP Basepowder. Letting Eiselin Reactive Basefluid flow in from the side can sometimes be easier. 

6. Scratch off excess material

- Scratching can be started immediately after step 5. 
- To Prevent pollutions of your tools, wipe off the rest from Eiselin Reactive Basefluid 

 with a tissue. 

- Use a body file or similar to remove the first excess material. Be careful not to damage the surrounding surface. It can be protected with tape.
Remove the rest with, for example, sandpaper. 

Finished – Go Skiing

Tips:

Opening of the Eiselin Reactive Basefluid bottle: Use a knive or a pliers. If you cut it, remember, that the more you cut, the wider the hole and the shorter the tip gets. Just cut the minimum. Take care, that no glue spraies out and will damage something around (also your eyes or skin!). Especially on higher elevations, the bottle can be under pressure.

Storage of Eiselin Reactive Basefluid and Eiselin HRP Basepowder: Cool and dry!

Application to fill the holes from bindings:
With Eiselin Ski Base Repair you also can fill the old holes from the bindings. You have to work with several layers. Then you will get a result, many times more solid than the classic repair with plastic bolts. You will be able to drill a thread directly inside the repairmaterial. So you probaly can drill the new holes closer to the old ones (check with your local regulations) and that will weaken the ski a lot less.
