How to Make Ski Wax

You can experiment after you make the basic wax. Try adding small amounts of graphite, powdered Teflon or other substances to create less friction. There is another way to make wax using petroleum jelly, microwax, paraffin wax and fisher tropsch wax. There is no set rule as to how much of each is mixed to make ski wax with these ingredients, and experimentation will be required to get it right. But it should be known that petroleum jelly is the softest, paraffin is harder, microwax is still harder, and fisher tropsch is the hardest of the waxes. Hard wax is better for colder conditions but is not the best for new snow.
