The number of skis I've been responsible for on race day took
a jump this year. So I will put in a plug for fluorinated
paste waxes, and the Fast Wax Slick Pro line. There are a
couple of pursuit races this season where I expect that stuff
to really save my can.

Along these lines I heard from the local Toko rep last night
that aerosol klisters are very popular with high school coaches.
That is, if you've got a short race with 20 skiers or so and
klister conditions, real klister is going to be a challenge in
the timeframe allowed. So the wax coach pulls out his or her
collection of spray cans and before you know it the team is
ready to go.

That aside, the stuff is popular with people that hate klister.
Which is not a small population. My experience with it is that,
like grip tape, the effectiveness of spray grip waxes drops
with air temps above freezing.
