REX WAX UNIVERSAL KLISTER

A true all-rounder, Rex 240 Universal Klister is formulated to perform across an exceptionally wide range of snow conditions—from warm, wet spring snow at +10 °C to dry, cold tracks at –30 °C. Despite its “universal” label, it’s a favorite even among competitive skiers for its dependable grip and smooth glide in variable conditions.

How to Apply Klister on Skis

Klisters are specialized grip waxes designed for wet, icy, or refrozen snow. For best results, follow these application steps:

1. Mask off the start and end of the grip zone with tape.

2. Lightly roughen the kick zone using 80–120 grit sandpaper to improve wax adhesion.

3. Clean the area by removing any dirt or residue.

4. For greater wear resistance, apply a base klister such as Rex Base #290 or Blue Klister #200 and smooth it evenly.

5. Add thin strips of the desired klister along the kick zone.

6. Warm the wax with a heat gun until it softens.

7. Distribute evenly using a synthetic cork.

8. If necessary, apply a second klister layer suited to the day’s snow conditions.

9. Heat again and smooth with your thumb for an even surface.

10. Remove the masking tape, then blend the edges of the grip zone by hand for a clean, consistent finish.
