Kick wax:
Binder: Apply Vauhti Super Base on a clean and sanded kick zone. The Vauhit is best stored in the freezer and applied to a warm ski. After rubbing the binder on in a fairly thin layer, iron it in and let it cool. When cool, cork it smooth with a synthetic cork.
Wax: Multiple layers of Rode Green might work well. That would be my first try at testing.
