So I need to wax my skis for tomorrow, but cannot seem to find my wax scraper. If anyone knows of a good replacement I would really appreciate if you could tell me.

Thanks, mad karma and vibes to whomever can help me

Just don't scrape them off, it's basically the same

Anything flat: license plates, knives, another ski, your iphone.

An iPhone will probably break while scraping.

Credit card is probably your best bet OP.

TBH, unless its a pow day its honestly not worth scraping, first groomer will pull all the surface wax right off...

A piece of plexi-glass. That's what a scraper is anyways. And to whoever said to just ski the wax off because its the same, you're a dumbass.

Can't believe it hasn't been said already, but buy a scraper sharpener and sharpen em. A must for every wax kit.
