Abstract: A device for waxing skis comprises a rectangular metal block forming a base-plate having ribs extending along the side edges and upstanding above the upper surface. A metal end plate is fixed to one end so as to protrude above the upper surface and below the lower surface of the base-plate. A plurality of shallow grooves in the end edge adjacent the end plate extends between the lower surface and upper surface and diverges toward the latter in width and depth. The base-plate also carries a handle assembly projecting upwardly away from the end opposite to the end plate. The upper surface of the base-plate together with the side ribs and end plate define a recess for containing melted wax which passes through the grooves when being applied and spreads evenly over the running surface of the ski. A guide member is disposed along one side of the base-plate and protrudes downwardly so as to be adapted to engage an edge of the ski during the waxing operation.
