Swix Fiberlene Base Cleaning Paper

Standard paper towels often leave behind lint and fibers that can contaminate your base and interfere with wax absorption. Swix Fiberlene is specifically engineered to be non-linting and non-dissolving, ensuring your base remains perfectly clean and ready for a smooth wax application.

Yes, this paper is designed to withstand the heat of a waxing iron. It is commonly used for the 'hot scrape' method, where you apply wax, lay the Fiberlene over the base, and iron over it to draw out dirt and old wax residue.

While the product is optimized for non-fluorinated waxes, it works effectively with any standard ski or snowboard wax. Its primary function is cleaning and prep, so it remains a versatile tool regardless of the specific wax chemistry you choose.

For an average recreational skier who tunes their own gear a few times a season, a 20-meter roll will last multiple seasons. If you are tuning multiple pairs of skis weekly, you will go through it faster, but it remains a very cost-effective supply.

You can use this paper with any standard ski base cleaner to remove grime and old wax. It is durable enough to hold up against solvents without breaking down or tearing, making it an ideal applicator for deep cleaning.
