I would tend to agree with you, fish scales or noisy and slow. and I

I'm sure you always get the wax right but I don't but I tend to ski with
companions who use fish scales. It is difficult to ask them to stop all
the time while you fiddle with your waxes. By the way what are rock skis?

Swix liquid F4 goes a long way to stopping the fish scales from
gathering clumps. I solved the "getting the grip wax right" problem by
using Start Grip Tape (self adjusting to temperature -4F to ~30F (and
maybe higher)).

Do you know if the grip tape be put over warn out fish scales?

Don't know, might work ok, but not smooth.......... hmmmm........ if you
sanded most or all the fishscale off, it would work rather nice I think.
