A pure hydrocarbon powder for use in very cold snow conditions. Can be used alone or as a base for other waxes during abrasive conditions such as newly man-made snow. Special hydrocarbon powder increases hardness of all waxes it is mixed with.

Apply the wax of choice and then iron. While the wax is still in liquid form, or at least still warm, sprinkle CH3 over the wax. Iron into the wax layer, allow cooling, then scrape and brush away excess.
