For an ordinary track below freezing, start with Blue. In a light frost or on a hard, worn track, softer Blue Special offers more bite. Universal Tar covers a wide range of freezing conditions if you prefer to carry fewer tins.
Choose your wax
| Variant | Temperature | Best reason to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| Blue 115 | −2 to −8 °C | A starting point for everyday freezing conditions. Adjust grip with thin layers; avoid unnecessary thickness towards the colder end. |
| Blue Special 120 | −1 to −4 °C | Softer than Blue, for light frost and hard, worn tracks. |
| Universal Tar 141 | −1 to −25 °C | A tar-containing wax with a broad freezing range, useful for keeping your wax selection small. |
Temperature is only the starting point: the track surface and ski's kick zone matter too. Glassy, icy tracks often need klister. These waxes are not universal wet-snow solutions.
Build the kick zone in thin layers
- Clean the kick zone of your waxable classic skis and let it dry. Use the zone measured for the skis; keep grip wax off skin inserts and glide zones.
- Lightly roughen the zone and remove the dust. Add Base Wax where a binder is needed for wear resistance.
- Rub on a thin coat of the chosen wax and smooth it with a synthetic cork. Cork each layer separately.
- Rex's basic method typically uses 3–6 layers, depending on conditions and ski stiffness. Build height in the middle of the kick zone rather than leaving a thick edge along its full length.
- Test the skis. If necessary, add one thin, corked layer at a time.
Tools and common fixes
You need a cork and supplies for cleaning and roughening the kick zone. This method requires no iron, brush or liquid topcoat. Hard kick wax has no liquid drying time. To avoid corking, consider Liquid Blue for freezing conditions, but liquid wax cannot build the same thickness.
Slipping: check the conditions match the wax and that the kick zone contacts the snow. Add suitable wax sparingly; wax cannot solve every problem caused by an overly stiff ski. Icing or drag: remove the ice and check whether the layer is too soft, thick or long. Consider a colder wax within its stated range. Wax wears away: check cleaning and the binder before adding more top layers.
