Isn't the "JetStream" a powder? Yes, you iron in all initial
layers...but I guess the final "JetStream" powder can be just
rubbed on and then polished. I'm not advanced enough for those
high_tech powders though.
You think you have it bad -- some of us have to agonize over
kick wax choices too! With a chance of wet, heavy snow moving in
on Race Day, I'm getting nervous.
By the way...the grouchy guy on Monroe street really is
pretty nice if you give him a chance. :-)
