Klister for ice
Any ideas for kick waxing for sheer ice conditions...basically ice rink
conditions...in fact that's why I ask...looking for the extra edge in broomball, although Minnesota trails are about as icy. Is icing a problem if I go to warm? Would the swix ice klister be the best or would something like universal work well? -Klister on the trails, klister on the rinks, klister on mean people's toilet seats |

many answers, this is one:
if temp is below ca -6C then any blue klister would be fine. If temp is closer to 0C then consider violet and swix flexi. If temp goes from -5C to a little over 0C then consider Rode Multigrade. Swix universal has a more limited use area than universal from Rode and Start. In fact I'm considering giving away all my Swix universal tubes :-) |

The ice will usually be quite abrasive, so start with a base of green
klister as a binder and cover with usually blue ("scare") klister. Randy |
