Care
Store your skins in the field by folding the adhesive side against itself. The best way to do this is to start at the middle and work toward the ends, keeping the edges aligned. Storing them apart can ruin the glue.
Apply Cheat Sheets and keep skins below 32˚C for long-term storage in order to preserve glue quality. Use the skin bag to keep skins clean. After long term storage, remove Cheat Sheets at room temperature for best results.
Avoid getting snow on the adhesive and it will stick better.
Dry your skins every night if possible and do not expose your skins to fires, stoves or extreme heat.
When applying your skins, make sure your ski bases are dry and clean.
If glue needs to be replaced on the skin, use Black Diamond regluing products.
On very cold days, the skin adhesive will perform better if you keep your skins inside your jacket when not in use. Your body temperature will help warm them, increasing the adhesive properties.
