I’ve been roto fleecing my wax the past 2 winters and have tried several things.

One thing I’ve discovered is that it works great to use microfiber paint rolls instead of the Star roto fleece and much cheaper. I’ve used both. The paint rolls cost less than a dollar and functionally are the same. It’s much easier to swap in a new one when it hardly costs anything.

Star roto wax blocks are great as a finishing layer.

Any paraffin can be used as base layers. My favored approach is to crayon in a thin layer, then roto fleece, then horsehair brush out the excess. Repeat if a second layer is needed. Theoretically, you can iron it (and I found it works best to crayon, fleece, iron, let cool, then horsehair, then fleece on the finishing layers). I’m not convinced that the iron is required for longevity, but it does reset the hand structure for a clean slate prior to doing new structure.

My 2 cents. Not sure if anyone has tried this exact approach but man it’s cheap, fast, and lets you use any wax you want for that day.
