MrTrololo 4 Report post Posted December 6, 2015 Hi everyone,Does someone has an information about blade hollow polishing for the best glide?I have found this patent:"Ice-skate blade polishing method and means CA 1159484 A1" There is disclosed an ice-skate blade in which the portion of the ice-engaging surface of the blade which is inter-mediate the sharpened side edges of the blade, is polished to a mirror-finish, in order to decrease the friction between the blade and the ice. To polish this intermediate surface with conventional polishing compounds, a felt disc is used. It's sounds pretty much like a nice idea. Where I can try this? Can anyone comment on this? Kind regardsMr Trololo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
