For what seems like decades, ski bases have received the same treatment. Hard wax is melted onto a base with an iron, wax is allowed to cool, wax is scraped, and wax is brushed. As we all know, it is a pretty tedious process. However, Swix has a solution. Swix Glide Wax For Skin Skis will can be applied to the base material on any ski (not just skin skis) to keep things gliding smoothly. The integrated foam/cork applicator helps to evenly distribute the wax after applied. Wait 10-15 minutes, then use the felt end of the container to polish in the wax, and you are GTG for all temperatures!
