Tar Universal

Blue
-2…-8°C
The king of grip waxes! A classic that has been in production for decades, still remaining relevant. In Finland Rex Blue has gained a legendary reputation, just ask any finnish skier! It is used widely as a universal grip wax on cold temperatures. Its grip and glide properties can be adjusted by the thickness of the wax layer. The colder the weather, the thinner the layer.

Base Wax
Very sticky and durable base wax under any grip wax. The most durable result is achieved by applying a wax with an waxing iron to roughened ski base.
Applying Rex Grip Waxes
Grip waxing (Kick waxing) from start to finish:
Base preparation then base wax, and finally the wax of the day
- Mount masking tape in the both ends of the grip zone
- Roughen the ski base with sand paper
- Wipe off excess dirt
- Crayon a layer of Rex Base Wax. (Alternatively you can use Rex Liquid Base Klister, which is a faster method.)
- Heat the wax with a heat gun or waxing iron
- Smooth with synthetic cork
- Crayon a thin layer of chosen Rex grip wax, suitable for snow type and temperature
- Smooth out with cork
- Typically 2-4 coats are required, varies depending of ski stiffness vs. skier weight and personal preference
- After every application use a cork to smooth out the wax
- Remove masking tapes and finish the kick wax
