Tip #31

Many axles that come in the pinewood derby kit have a slight bend. A bent axle will slow your car. To check your axles, spin the axles in a drill. If they wobble, they aren't straight and should be replaced.

Tip #36

Use a small file to remove the burrs on the axle shaft and head. Use only moderate pressure. The axle metal is soft and it is easy to file too deep.

Tip #39

Do not use a low grit (below 400) sandpaper on your axles. It will scratch the axle shaft. Use a small file to remove the crimp marks and file only where needed.

We did in fact win our pack championship. My son couldn't be prouder of his trophies. Thanks again for everything.....Ronnie P
We've used your axle polish combo for the last 5 yrs. We came in 7th at the Council race using your polish on stock axles. Nobody could believe we used stock axles. We set District records three yrs in a row on stock axles with your polish. Thanks... Dave T
