Rex TapeGrip is a high-quality grip wax tape designed to offer excellent grip for cross-country skis. Each pack of Rex TapeGrip can be used on 4-5 pairs of skis and is known to last up to 250 kilometers. Here are the steps to apply Rex TapeGrip for maximum grip:
-
Roughen up the grip zone : Start by roughing up the grip zone on your skis with the included sandpaper in the package. This step helps prepare the base for better adhesion of the grip wax tape.
-
Apply a shorter layer : If you want to maximize grip or have very stiff skis, you can first apply a shorter layer of the grip wax tape in the middle of the grip zone. It provides extra grip where it is needed most.
-
Apply the grip wax tape carefully : Gently pull the Rex TapeGrip over the grip zone, making sure it adheres evenly and without air bubbles. Press it down firmly to ensure it adheres to the ski base.
-
Rub the grip wax tape : Use the provided damper to rub the grip wax tape on the ski base. This helps improve the tape's grip on the ski.
-
Remove the protective paper : When you are ready to ski, remove the protective paper from the grip wax tape. This will expose the sticky side of the tape that comes into contact with the snow to offer grip.
-
Reuse the protective paper : The protective paper can be reused to protect the grip wax tape when you are not using it. It ensures that the sticky side stays clean and ready for your next ski session.
By following these steps, you can achieve maximum grip with Rex TapeGrip and improve your cross-country skiing experience, especially in challenging snow conditions.
