MasterWax Buyer/User Guide
MasterWax’s marquee products have long been their wool-apply waxes. “Wool-apply” (aka fleecing) use to be branded as a “revolutionary” ski waxing system, but that branding has aged. Nowadays, many high-level clubs, teams, and ski-service shops use the system. Many other wax companies have copied MasterWax’s wool-apply system. Wool-apply waxing has gone mainstream.
“Wool-application” glide waxing uses friction-heat generated by a rotating wool applicator to apply a thin layer of wax to a ski, or snowboard’s base.

to compliment the RACING FLUORFREE waxes. The Ultra8 and Professional lines has been revamped to replace their HF and LF counterparts in fluoro-free versions! These 3 lines give you all you need to choose from for all your racing or training needs.
Advantages of Cold-Apply Wax
With concerns raised by various studies over the past decade on the adverse effects to the health of wax techs working in enclosed spaces while engulfed in fumes from traditional waxing methods, MasterWax cold-apply offers a huge step in protecting the health of wax techs or anyone else who enters a wax room. Cold-apply does not produce smoke or fumes. Also, the amount of dust created in the waxing process is greatly reduced.
Impact on the environment is minimized when using cold-apply methods. The amount of wax that is wasted is minuscule. None of the wax used is scraped and brushed away into the garbage bin. Expect to wax 60-80 pairs of Nordic skate skis with a 20g block of MasterWax. The harmful solvents found in liquid glide waxes are completely avoided.
The quicker, simpler application process is a massive draw to this application method. The three-step clean, load, then buff process is faster than traditional waxing methods. It is also much easier to learn
for new back-shop employees or ski club volunteers. Because there are no hot temperatures or sharp tools involved, the risk of damaging equipment while waxing is mitigated. Find more information on how to use cold-apply wax at the end of this article!
The kilometrage you get out of waxes applied by this method tends to be good, but the standout feature is the raw speed of the skis it produces – particularly in warmer temperatures. Fleecing leaves the bare minimum amount of product on the base. This is fantastic because the ski bases’ natural structure or stone grind is maximally exposed to the snowpack. This helps the ski base do its job of getting rid of excess water from under the ski base. Fleeced waxes can be applied either on a completely bare, clean base or a paraffin base wax. As temperatures get colder, it’s recommended to fleece over a hard base paraffin.
MasterWax Kits: The Best Way to Go
If you're starting out with MasterWax, we recommend getting one of these kits. The kits come with all the wax, wools and attachments you need to get started with wool-apply waxing. Grabbing a bottle of Rode's Glide Cleaner is also recommended to help keep bases clean between wax applications.
