To test the sharpness of the edge, scrape your fingernail over it – your nail will peel if your edge is sharp. Do this several times until your black marker pen line has gone. Now apply pressure with the file on the side edge and drag it along the length of the edge. Arrange the file so that it is pointing in the right direction for you to stroke from nose to tail on your first edge – ideally most actions you take when waxing and edging go in one direction, from the nose to the tail of the board. There should be an arrow on the side of the file that indicates the direction it should go.
The file in your edge sharpener is probably one-directional. To see where to sharpen more precisely, place your board right way up on a flat surface, the area you want to sharpen is between where the board touches the ground at the front and back (assuming you have a regular camber board). You should only sharpen the concave section of the edge. When the line’s gone, you’ve sharpened the whole edge. This technique is handy while you’re getting used to sharpening edges, but not always necessary. Once you’ve decided on an edge angle, take a permanent marker pen and draw down your side edge.
The more acute angles will give you more bite, which is handy on hard-pack and is often used for racing. 89, 88 and 87 degrees are progressively more advanced. 90 degrees is the standard setting for beginner / intermediate riding. It’s likely that your edge sharpener has several angle options. If you don’t want to take them all the way off, you can just loosen the screws a little. You also want a nice flat surface to wax on to. It’s not advisable to warm up the base when the divots are there, as it can accentuate them and make them permanent. When your bindings are tightened into your board, the screws can suck minor divots into the base. This is an important step which is often overlooked. Step 1 – loosen or take your bindings off It’s best to do everything in a garage or outside, as the wax does tend to stick to flooring and make a bit of a mess. You could use a tool box or even a sturdy coffee table. All you really need is a robust surface that’s half to three-quarters the length of your board. If you have workshop and bench, great, but hardly any of us have that luxury. You'll need to invest in a bit of kit before you can get going, but it isn’t overly expensive and you’ll save on shop services in the long run. Take the time and you’ll reap excellent results.
