Product Description
The RP105 is the perfect choice for the home tuner. It fills larger gouges that are too much for P-Tex drip candles. If you tend to have a ton of rock damage or often stone up multiple skis (home tuning service) you may prefer the larger Skimender RP360. The RP360 has a wider head that has a separate heating element, it also operates at a higher temp.
- The RP105 uses 11mm P-Tex sticks creating repairs superior to those of drip-repair candles, both in durability and longevity.
- The reach-adjustable trigger is very light so it takes very little pressure to extrude an adequate amount of material.
- Includes a metal bench stand.
- Nice long power cord.
- 120 volts for use in North America and Canada only, use outside of these countries voids all warranties.
Includes
- RP105 repair gun.
- Metal stand.
- 4 sticks clear P-tex.
User Tips for RP105
- Allow the RP105 to heat up until the repair material resembles honey when the trigger is squeezed. If the material is not hot enough it will not stick well. Take your time and try not to express too much material at once.
- It is recommended that the user works away from themselves, using the arrow on the front of the tip to guide the tool along the repair, we find either way works just fine...pulling toward or pushing away.
- The front of the head (where the arrow is) should remain approximately 1-2mm above the base, the rear should float lightly on the extruded material.
- This helps to spread the base material to the adjacent base.
- Most gouges are filled in just one pass.
- It is important to keep the head moving at all times, a stationary head can damage the base.
- Allow the repair to cool, then use a surform followed by a steel scraper to reduce and smooth the repair.
- Be sure to work with a sharp metal scraper, use a scraper burnisher, you will not regret it!
- Be sure to work in a well ventilated space and/or use a respirator when P-Texing.
- To clean the tip, simply turn the power off and while the tip is still warm rub it across a sheet of Scotchbrite to remove any carbonized P-Tex.
