This is how waxing blocks work

Blocks are simple but important tools in ski waxing. They are used to smooth, work in, and polish wax. With the right block, you get a smooth surface and a wax that adheres better to the base.

Different types of blocks

  • Synthetic block – primarily used to smooth and distribute grip wax in several thin layers.
  • Natural cork – used to work glide wax into the base. The friction that arises makes the wax adhere better.
  • Felt block – used to polish liquid glide waxes after they have dried.
  • Combination blocks – have both cork and felt sides, providing flexibility.

How to use blocks

  1. Apply the wax in thin layers on the correct zone (grip or glide).
  2. Use a synthetic block to smooth the grip wax and create thin, even layers.
  3. Use natural cork to rub in glide wax – the friction makes the wax adhere to the base.
  4. For liquid glide wax: polish with a felt block for a shiny and durable surface.

Tips for best results

  • Always apply several thin layers instead of one thick layer.
  • Cork or polish each layer thoroughly for the best durability.
  • Have separate blocks for different products to avoid mixing.

FAQ – Common questions about blocks

Which block do I need as a recreational skier?
A synthetic block for grip wax and a natural cork for glide wax suffice.

Can I use the same block for everything?
You can, but you risk mixing residues. It's best to have different blocks for grip and glide wax.

How long does a block last?
Synthetic and natural blocks last for many years, while felt blocks wear out faster and need to be replaced more often.

Is natural cork better than synthetic?
They have different uses – synthetic for grip wax, natural cork for glide wax. Both are needed for the best results.
