Dear All,
Going Nordic ski touring in Norway. Non-circular route so everything has to

Thanks

Rex Grip Tape
Rex advertises it as lasting 100's of K's. If it picks up stuff, pine
needles, heather, etc., is it possible to clean this off and leave the tape.
Thanks

Interesting Greg, you raise the question of how you clean this stuff. If the
temperature goes above 4 C would you ask wax?
Thanks.
