Step-by-Step
Items Needed:
- A new set of tips that are the correct diameter for your poles
- A Heat Gun
- Special ski pole glue
- A pair of work gloves
Step 1: Removing the Old Tips
Start by heating the old tips with a heat gun or dipping them in hot water for a few minutes. This softens the adhesive and makes it easier to remove the tips. Once heated, wear your gloves and pull the old tips off the poles.
Step 2: Preparing the Pole Shafts
Inspect the ends of the pole shafts for any leftover adhesive or debris. Clean them thoroughly to ensure a smooth surface for the new tips. Use your heat gun on the glue until it becomes transparent then apply a small quantity to the portion of the shaft that inserts into the tip.
Step 3: Heating the New Tips (If required)
If the new tips are tight, you can heat them slightly to expand the opening. Use the heat gun or dip them in hot water for a minute or two. If this doesn't do enough, you can use 120-grit sandpaper to reduce the diameter. If the tips fit loose, you can wrap one layer of electrical tape around the bottom of the shaft to act as a spacer and be sure to add extra glue!
Step 4: Installing the New Tips
Heat the glue you applied to the pole shaft until it's translucent. Slide the heated tips onto the pole shafts until you're sure they're fully inserted to the bottom. Eyeball the tips to ensure they're pointing in the same direction as the pole's handles.
Step 5: Securing the Ferrules
Allow the glue to cool and set. Double-check to ensure they are firmly attached and aligned correctly!
