Rub On Pure Fluros-Whats Up With The Dry Gray Look?

nice site! they have a picture under heading "cera f" which shows a
gray smudged base that they say is normal.

Rex makes a fabric designed to be used between your iron and the fluro wax.
It seems to work well, both to warm the wax and protect the base.

Agree that rotocork does heat it in, but it just feels safer. Also, I
agree with the fibertex. Not giving it approval but just mentioning it
as something I have seen.

Another thought is the mixing of wax in the underlayer. Need to make
sure that is completely brushed out.

I am a Solda user and have had very good luck with their products. I
know on the TorbjornSport site they talk about heating in Powerjet, but
I have rarely done this. My technique, not an endorsement but just what
seems to work for me, is crayon on, cork the daylights out of it (I use
a rotocork) very light brush with horsehair, polish with polishing pad
(I use toko), brush with finishing nylon.

If you are rotocorking the daylights out of it, you are heating it in.


If you are going to heat it in, I have seen people use a piece of
fiberlene over the iron to avoid damaging the bases and to keep the
fluoro "pure". Don't have nay experience with this.

I don't understand how a piece of fiberlene is going to protect the
base from being overheated.
