Notes on kick waxing:
Tip for working with Klister: Thin to win. You can always apply more klister, it is a pain in the butt to remove excess. To mix Klister: apply in thin alternating stripes in your klister pocket and rub together with your thumb.
Recommended: For speed you are going to want to iron on a layer of Violet Terva on top of your klister. This ironed on layer will create a thin film that is going to speed you up while allowing you to kick.
