smell test passed

water test passed

Compatible passed

on snow

Notes:

Melted with iron at 2.5 / rayon setting. No smoke observed.

Smell was awesome. Each tech loved the scent.

water test uses a water droplet / then observe the height and roll rate

of droplet. Since colder wax does not have as much fluro additives the droplet

should have less height as compared to a warm wax.

hardness tested against scotchbrite pad scraping.

Compatible with Zardoz Notwax.

On snow - could not complete until winter.

Impression:

Can't wait to ski on it.

Ingredients:

Paraflint hardner

fluro-carbons

Teflon

Magnesium theory will melt top layer snow/wax giving more speed.

Tested Multiple Race Days Update 2/11/2004

Cold TEMP / LOW HUMIDITY CONDITIONS

At 7 Springs PA., Roundtop PA.

Finally in January I was able to test NOBi Blue Cold Race

Temp 2-15 f Sunny

Humidity 20 percent

New manmade packed, groomed, loose, Hard ICE on NASTAR

Wax Blue 100%

No stick, good glide

General Performance:

add more blue as the temps dip below 28 f

keep some Blue in the mix to handle the abuse of man made snow

a general mix of 50% 50% Blue /Red will work well.

Once above 35 degrees go full red.

I have used the wax for 25 days skiing in conditions from ICE, Hardpack, SoftSnow, new fluffy powder, loose granular.

Temp range 2 f to 50 f. Humidity 20 percent to 90 percent.

You can mix blue/red for a Mid Fluro setup
