No, but some ski waxes require the use of a waxing iron.

To melt in the hard glide wax and base mount, you need a waxing iron. A good waxing iron will keep the temperature even as you guide it over the ski. Use a good waxing iron for glide waxes and a lower priced variant for base grips. If you use the same waxing iron for both the glide wax and the base grip, make sure that it is cleaned well between each use.

1. Switch on the machine and set the temperature
2. Remove lid and unroll the drum
3. Put in klister or fixed glide wax. Remember to have your own drums for the different products you want to use the machine for
4. Insert the roll and close the lid
5. Wait 10 minutes or until it has melted completely. The warmer the temperature, the thinner the layer
6. Prepare your skis while you wait. Rub the waxing zone if you want to put klister and tape between the wax and the glide zone, regardless of whether you are going to apply klister or glide wax
7. Guide the ski to where you want to apply klister/glide wax over the roller 2–3 times.

Glider or klister, tape and the machine itself. It may be handy to have sandpaper if you are going to apply klister and use a scraper, a middle edge scraper and brushes if you are going to apply glide wax.

A clean waxing iron will give a good result.

There are probably many culprits out there who have a dirty and scratched waxing iron. A waxing iron is the most important tool you have. If it is not scratch-free and in tip-top condition, it can lead to poor results or, in the worst case, damage to the ski base.

Wipe the waxing iron with Base Cleaner and fiberlene while it is hot.
