Classic skiing on skate skis

Sadly, I'm currently without a pair of classic skis. I do have
multiple pairs of skate skis and am considering waxing up a pair of old
Rossi Delta Cobras. I'm doing this to classic with friends and have no
intention of racing on them. My plan is to hot wax in a hard wax in
the kick zone to use as a binder and then applying kick wax as normal.
Does anone have any advice or ideas of what I might expect?
