Product detailed description

Paraffin, Glide Wax SWIX LF08X, 60g, -4°C to +4°C

Temperature range from -4°C to +4°C

A continuation of the classic LF8 wax, which is excellent for both base preparation and training.

Can be used as a race wax ideally with Cera F powder as a top layer. It dissolves easily and facilitates application. If used as a base under Cera F, we recommend the new FC08X powder wax.

Recommended ironing temperature: 130°C.

LFX Waxes – with Fluorocarbon

LFX waxes are fluorinated hydrocarbon waxes with a low content of fluorine additives and a low melting point.
They are primarily used for training or racing in combination with Cera F as a top layer or independently as race waxes at very low temperatures.
The temperature range and colors of the LFX waxes correspond to the HFX category but differ in the 60-gram packaging. LFX waxes differ from CHX waxes by being somewhat more transparent.

Application Procedure for Glide Waxes - CH, LF, and HF

This procedure is a general recommendation from top service technicians

1. Scrape off the travel wax applied after the last race or training using a plexi scraper SWIX T823 and a groove scraper SWIX T88.
2. Brush with a medium-coarse bronze brush SWIX T162 or a steel brush SWIX T179. 5-10 strokes from tip to tail and remove remaining wax.
3. Apply the appropriate wax according to daily conditions. Using an iron, drip the wax on both sides of the groove. The wax should dissolve easily. Check the recommended ironing temperatures for the given wax. Keep the iron in continuous motion from tip to tail of the ski. One stroke should take approximately 8-10 seconds for skating skis.
4. Repeat 3 times. Let the ski cool to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
5. Do not forget to remove all excess wax in the groove and on both sides of the groove using a scraper SWIX T87 or SWIX T88. It is recommended to scrape the groove before scraping the base in case the scraper jumps out of the groove and could leave scratches on the already scraped base.
6. If working with hard and brittle waxes, such as SWIX CH4X/CH6X, LF4X/LF6X, or HF4X/HF6X, scrape off as much wax as possible before it hardens. Once the ski cools, continue scraping with a sharp plexi scraper SWIX T823. Other waxes like SWIX CH7X/CH8X/CH10X, LF7X/LF8X/LF10X, or HF7X/HF8X/HF10X are scraped after the ski cools to room temperature, approximately after 10 minutes.
7. Brush the base with a medium-coarse bronze brush SWIX T162 or a steel brush SWIX T179. 5-10 strokes.
8. For final brushing and polishing, use a blue nylon polishing brush SWIX T160.
