Hallo nordic ski fans,

about ten years ago I bought Karhu skies with a multigrade zone. Does
anyone know, where to buy a new activating spray for this special
chemical material or how to treat this zone with other special mixtures?

TIA

If I remember correctly you can use a silicone spary on the bases.

Hallo,
I'm not shure about silicone. If I rember well, there have been two
different sprays:
1st for cleening this zone (today I use a normal wax cleening spray) and

a
2nd for activating this zone.
Thanx for digging your brain for me!

Response from Finland the Myllylaland. As you surely know those skis
are not of the latest technology today, but they were popular among
non-competing skiers and pretty good for that purpose. I advise you to
grind the multigrade zones with medium (not too coarse ) sandpaper ,
number 220 would be good. By doing that you "activate " those zones.
The spray you are looking for is not for sale any more, I think.

Hello Markus,

Thank you for your hints,
I will try the sandpaper method. By the way: What meens "Myllylaland"?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Myllylaland" refers to
the best skier at the present time in this country, the gold medal winner
Mika Myllyla. (the last character of the name should be ä {a with umlaut}.
He's one of the great Mikas in this country... Mika Häkkinen, Mika Myllylä,
Mika Waltari, Mika Salo.... The sandpaper method has been proven useful by my
brother, once an active skier himself. When temperature near 0 C those
multigrade zones are subject to freezing, if they freeze try to apply some
anti freeze agent or silicone. m_f
