What is the lower temperature range for this wax and if it is going to be quite cold, what other waxed you recommend of yours at that point?

There are so many factors that affect the snowpack, including recent snowfall, air temp & relative humidity. If your just skiing for recreation, then this wax will be a good general treatment for the base while finishing with fine structure for cold & coarse structure for warm/wet. If you're actually trying to win a race, then you're into another world of very expensive base grinds, diamond stones, high-fluoro waxes, & structuring techniques beyond the scope of this Q&A.; Try this wax & structure properly, then, if you don't glide, switch to a harder temp-specific wax from Hertel™ TOKO™ or SWIX™.

This wax worked well in warmer temps, but last weekend, it was very cold and the skis didn't slide well at all. It is still cold here in New England so I switched to to temperature specific wax from Swix and in today's corp racing, the ski slid nicely.

I've skied quite a lot lately in really cold weather and I'd say -5F is close to the lower limit for this wax. It's like skiing without wax not like skiing with a wax that is really slowing you down. I wouldn't know what to recommend for below -5F.

It last roughly 3-4 months. But that was with only one coat of wax. Normally you want to apply 2 coats in that first month with about 2 weeks apart. Or at least I do

The wax itself doesn't really drip much if its warm, but it will drip if it is too hot and you probably shouldn't apply it you'll burn your skin. The wax should glob like a ball on the wooden spatula before applying it. I sit down when i apply it, its more comfortable than standing at least for me it is. Hope this helped! :D

You'll have to hold it near a small flame to warm the wax. It's a two-handed operation with a lighter, but it works well enough.

I purchased the heating unit which you just plug in and wait for it to melt. I don't have any other suggestions- I invested in the unit because I was scared of overheating the wax and burning myself. Good luck!

You shouldn't have to heat this at all; in fact, I would never recommend it. The wax should have been the consistency of fresh shoe polish. You should never have to do more than rub an applicator across it to get a nice, smooth paste. You seem to have received old stock; notify Amazon and the seller, and see what they can do about it. This stuff is wonderful to work with and a snap to use. You just didn't get what you paid for.

I would not recommend applying any wax in full sun on a hot day. 3M is the best spay wax I have ever used, & I use it in a shaded area.

It only has instructions on warming the wax. It doesn't tell you exactly how to wax. I watched tutorials online.

Garth~ The Minwax Finishing Wax is great! Goes on smoothly and has almost No scent at all. I too have used Briwax and I'm trying to use it up (outside) on my refinishing pieces because I don't like the oder either. I recommend that you purchase Minwax. I think you will like it and I also liked the price (1/2 of what Briwax costs!)

I'm not an expert, but the high temperature should deter any bacteria. Just wash your hands/feet thoroughly before using. I can't see any bacteria being able to grow when the wax is solid and cool.

It goes from room temp (about 25C) to 66C to melt all the wax. Then you need to reset it for a comfortable temperature (51-54C). It does go up in increments of 1C, but you can only set the end point temperatures.

Don't thank it goes that cold bud !You could build a box for it and insulate the box I think it goes to 10 degrees !I'll check when I get home and let you know for sure !!

You can get it below freezing if you want. There is no temperature gauge, so you need to put a thermometer inside and inside and play with it a little, but it will get as cold as you want.

I melt it with my wax warmer in a 4 oz tin container on 50 to 60 degrees Celsius.

I did not measure the temperature but do not think it gets anywhere near 35&#730;. However, it's always cold enough for me. I would recommend it unless you like things icy cold.

I leave the wax in and reuse it. Just plug it in a few hours ahead and it should be fine.

You should never use any kind of cold wax strips for brazilian. The hair is too thick and the area is too sensitive. Always use warm wax for that purpose :)
