  1. Unfortunately we had no one in the company to manage to online questions previously but now we do! But it is still important to us to now go back and answer these questions for anyone who is still interested. We want our consumers to have a clear understanding of our products benefits and features. And future readers may want more concrete answers :)
  2. The problem with leaving it on the blade is that the excess that is not permanently on the steel would just rub off and then cause complications for the ice. It would make the ice have a harder time freezing wherever the residue is left. To avoid this we recommend wiping the excess off. Hey malcb33! SK-8T Fuel works by creating the permanent liquid barrier as you mentioned. What most people don't know is that when you glide on ice, your blade glides on a thin layer of water that is created from the melting of the ice due to friction. When you corner and turn this water is displaced due to compression. Water is not compressible, therefore it displaces and creates huge friction between the blade and the ice. SK-8T Fuel helps to reduce this friction during aggressive cornering and cutting. It is a very scientific product that is proven to work and is endorsed by Ryan Nugent Hopkins. He and many team trainers swear by the product and claim to feel signifiant improvement. Remember though, they are on their skates all day and notice even the slightest difference so for them it has dramatic impact. Hi notquitedeadyet, To answer your question, the SK-8T Fuel does not come off after warm ups. The way it stays on is by permeating the pours in the steel and adhering to it. Much like grease on a moving engine, even if it is wiped off, it remains slightly. Only with SK-8T Fuel it has been formulated to stick MUCH BETTER and it takes the average player at least 2-3 games before they would need to re apply it. If you are a heavier skater then 2 games is recommended. Hope this answers your question! SK-8T Fuel works by creating the permanent liquid barrier as you mentioned.

  3. Hello Everybody! I sincerely apologize on the delay of this response. I am the new Sales Manager for SK-8T Fuel and I would like to answer any and all questions pertaining to the product! I read about some skepticism as well as some great results after trying the product! It's great to hear some of you are enjoying SK-8T Fuel! Let me answer some basic questions below and if i miss anything feel free to ask and I will provide the answer: What is SK-8T Fuel: It is a post sharpening blade coating that allows for increased performance of the blade. It creates a permanent liquid barrier on your skate blade by adhering to the very fine metal pores on the blade.This liquid barrier improves and smoothes blade glide but more importantly, it provides a liquid barrier when cornering and cutting hard. It also resists snow build up on the blade of the skate and prevents rusting of the blade. Why is this important? We all know that when you skate you essentially glide on a thin layer of water. When you cut hard into the ice during a turn, the water is expelled from beneath the blade due to the force exerted by your body and its weight. This results in the blade creating lots of friction with the ice and thus the player losing momentum, loosing blade responsiveness. Through the use of SK-8T Fuel, the player experiences less fatigue due to less effort expended during cutting/turning motions. Who Uses it? SK-8T Fuel is endorsed by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins of the Edmonton Oilers. He uses the product and swears by it. It is also used by the world champion Redbull Crashed Ice racers, Scott and Kyle Croxall. Beyond them, it is used by numerous high level players at both the professional and non professional levels. It is approved for use in the NHL and has also been tested on the world figure skating platform.
