This wax is designed for medium snow conditions, performing best in snow temperatures between -12°C and -4°C.

Troubleshooting
Wax not adhering well to the base.
Ensure the base is clean and free of old wax or dirt before application. Make sure the waxing iron is at the correct temperature.
Poor glide after waxing.
Allow the wax to cool completely before scraping and brushing. Ensure thorough brushing to expose the base structure. Check if the snow temperature falls outside the recommended range for this wax.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application: This is a hot wax, requiring a waxing iron to melt and apply to the ski or snowboard base. Ensure your waxing iron is set to the appropriate temperature for hydrocarbon waxes (typically between 140°C and 160°C) to avoid damaging the base.
Compatibility: Suitable for both skis and snowboards. It performs best in snow temperatures ranging from -12°C to -4°C and air temperatures within a similar range.
Care: After application and cooling, scrape off excess wax with a plastic scraper. Then, brush the base thoroughly with a nylon or brass brush to expose the base structure and ensure optimal glide. Store the wax in its resealable case in a cool, dry place. Clean your waxing iron after use to maintain its condition.
