Glide waxes

Glide wax (hot wax) gives durable glide. Melt in with an iron, scrape and brush to match the structure.

Find fluorine-free waxes from Swix, Vauhti, Maplus and Toko at XCSkiGuru – great for training and racing.

❄️ Quick how-to:

• Clean: Remove old wax; light brass → nylon brush.
• Choose hardness: Cold/dry = harder; warm/humid = softer.
• Apply & iron: Correct temperature; steady passes.
• Cool & scrape: 10–20 min, scrape tip to tail.
• Brush: Open the base; finish with nylon.
• Layering: Everyday = 1 layer; racing = 2–3 layers.

Quick compare: Liquids = fast & easy; hot wax = much longer lasting.
