Swix BP88 Base Prep Ski Wax

No, this is strictly a base preparation wax. It is designed to condition and protect new or freshly stone-ground bases, so you should apply a performance or temperature-specific wax over it before hitting the slopes.

The BP88 is perfectly suitable for both skis and snowboards. Its formulation works effectively on any P-Tex base material that requires conditioning or initial prep.

This is an iron-on wax. You should melt it onto your base using a waxing iron set to the appropriate temperature, spread it evenly, let it cool completely, and then scrape and brush it off as you would with any standard hot wax.

Stone-grinding exposes fresh base material and creates a new structure, which can be quite thirsty. This wax is formulated to penetrate deeply into that fresh structure, sealing the base and preventing oxidation before you apply your race or recreational wax.

Yes, it is excellent for travel. Because it is a durable, general-purpose base prep wax, it is a reliable option to protect your bases from drying out or getting damaged during transit or storage.
