FAQs
What type of snow is this wax best for?
This wax is specifically designed for damp to wet snow conditions, typically found in warmer temperatures or during spring skiing.
Can I use this wax in very cold weather?
No, this wax is optimized for warmer, wetter snow. For cold and icy conditions, you would need a different wax formulated for those temperatures.
Is this wax biodegradable?
Yes, the Toko NF Hot Wax is biodegradable.
How long does a 120g block of wax typically last?
A 120g block should provide many applications, typically enough for a full season of regular use for an individual, depending on application frequency and ski base condition.
What is the advantage of a 'non-fluoro' wax?
Non-fluoro waxes are more environmentally friendly as they do not contain fluorine compounds, which can be harmful to ecosystems.
Do I need special tools to apply this wax?
Yes, you will need a waxing iron, a scraper, and brushes for proper application and finishing.
Can this wax be used on snowboards as well as skis?
Yes, this wax is suitable for both skis and snowboards.
Troubleshooting
Ski feels slow or sticky.
Ensure the wax was applied and scraped correctly. Re-evaluate if the temperature conditions match the wax's intended use; this wax is for damp to wet snow.
Wax is difficult to iron in evenly.
Check your waxing iron temperature. It might be too low. Ensure the iron is moving continuously to avoid scorching the base.
Base appears dull after waxing.
The base may not have been brushed sufficiently after scraping. Use a nylon brush followed by a structure brush to restore the base's structure and shine.
Dirt seems to stick to the base despite waxing.
While dirt-repellent, extremely dirty conditions might still cause some adhesion. Ensure a thorough base cleaning before waxing and consider if a different wax type is needed for extremely abrasive snow.
