Smoothing rough edges

Use needle files to smooth the rough edges. Use flat files for flat areas and outside curves, and use semicircular and round files for inside curves. 

The type of wax used is decided by the team s wax technicians. It is their job to inspect the snow at all major competition sites. They look at the snow crystals under microscopes to determine their size and humidity. Although the snow on downhill and cross-country courses can look smooth on television, under a microscope, snow is seen to consist of crystals that have rough edges with varying water contents. The technicians create mixtures of different waxes and add other closely guarded secret ingredients that they test under different racing weather and snow conditions. 

A. Using the hacksaw and padded vise cut the scope mount as shown in Fig. II. Sand all rough edges smooth. 

G) All rough edges exposed to contact by employees shall be surfaced or smoothed in order to prevent injury to employees from punctures or lacerations. 

A close inspection of the edges of the lines of labyrinth (surfaces of the carbon surfaces) indicates a lack of smoothness, the edges being rough. This point is of importance to carbon science because the surfaces of porosity are of imperfect graphene-like layers, with surface irregularities and other defects.
