Skimender RP105 Ski & Snowboard Base Repair Gun – Durable P-Tex Repair Tool for Deep Scratches & Core Shots

the gun does not work, it does not reach the temperature and the cofix comes out of the base

Works wonderfully! DefinitelyNeeds a few minutes to warm up, but once it is the p-Tex flows easily. The flat tip is perfect for smoothing out the p-Tex and getting it to mix with the existing p-Tex. Highly recommend using wax remover first as wax will interrupt the adhesion of the new to the old P-Tex.

I was really excited to use this repair tool when it arrived. Unfortunately though it does not work well at all. Even after waiting the prescribed 20 minutes to let it warm up (which seems like a ridiculously long time) it was troublesome to apply the honey like mess that came out the other end. I finally found the best technique was to hover over the gash on the board, drip some in and then spread and press it using the tip.I used this gun on a variety of repairs on a board that needed a bit of work. Everything from small and in the center to fairly significant and close to the edges. Out of the dozen or so patches I did only 1 actually held in place through scraping.Guess I'll stick to using solder tools to work on boards as this gun is more trouble than ease and at nearly $100 I immediately requested a refund.

Love it much easier than using a candle

Works well. Much better application of PTEX than open flame drip. Also, much safer than getting burns from hot plastic. It does work better on shallow indentations on the ski base. Dripping PTEX on those shallow areas usually does not work. This product allows for better bonding of the PTEX because you can press it into the depression with heat. However, it would be really great if the tool accepted different diameters of PTEX sticks. You cannot always get the correct diameter for the tool.

Good product. Had to order twice because the first order, the packaging came clearly opened and so did the second one. I needed the ptex gun so I just kept the second one.

This gun is so expensive for how bad it works! It waste a lot of Petex and doesn’t work! Don’t buy it!

Awesome. I've worked at ski shops in the past and always perform my own ski repairs. This is a great home use p-tex gun and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to repair their own base damage. Easy to use and leaves no soot or residue.
