so i just had my skis waxed for camp, first off, it took them 2days longer then it was supposed to. So then i went in there at about 3 and they hadnt done them and he said give him a half an hour so i came back they were there, so i took them home and looked at them, there were huge beads of wax all over my edges were covered in wax, theres wax on my topsheet, theres even wax in my damn bindings, anyone no a good way to get it all off instead of scraping it?

thats a bit far fetched. if they quoted him a certain amount of time, they should do it in that amount of time, they have NO excuse for not doing it, especially this time of the year. if they are waxing his skis, they shouldnt do a sloppy job even if it is free (shop guys get paid whether you pay for the waxing or not, so it doesnt matter to them). its unprofessional, and if somebody works in the shop, you need some fucking professionalism and expertise.

but if there is wax on your topsheet and edges, its just wax, no biggie
