Hi All,
Long time, first time!
Does anyone have any experience with Nash Sports Proglide Polishing System? Here is a link to their explanation and how-to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oumW2ZsKjXA
I bought some prostock skates at an NHL team sale and for the first few weeks there was never any ice build-up on the sides of the skates and the glide was really nice. I was handed down a Wissota Skate sharpening machine and have been trying to get similar results. I have gotten better with my sharpening (with a lot of reading in these forums). I bought the Ryobi Stainless Steel "E" Buffing Compound someone recommended here which has helped me on the last pass a little. However I can't figure out how they kept the ice build-up down. I was thinking that this Proglide Polishing System might work. I have read about other glide oils in some older posts but none are still around. Some folks talk about sauce that their local skate sharpeners use but I cannot find any product information only links to the sharpeners who offer the sauce at an extra fee. I even read an article (I think posted on modsquad in a different thread) about the 1998 speedskating team and the sharpening/polishing system they had developed with NASA. https://spinoff.nasa.gov/spinoff2003/ch_1.html
Thanks for sharing your secrets! Reading all of your tips and techniques has been a huge help!
