Cross Country ski swix paste?

Question

I put base coat of Swix Polar, (then put some aluminium foil over my iron) worked that base coat, then added one coat of blue v30 Swix then two coats of Violet Special v45 Swix wax

I don't understand the snow here in verrmont stuck to my skis why did this happen?

The temp here was 34 degrees and snowing wet snow

I mean how many coats of wax does it take i tryed to find info about this subject anyone that can help me please?

Answer 1

I had a terrible time getting grip wax to work because of the narrow ranges that each type works. We have similar wet snow (Rochester, NY); I found that Start Grip Tape works great and is much easier (apply once, lasts hundreds of KM!), has a temp range -4 F to +44 F.

For the old style waxes warm and wet got into klister range.
