Dominator
Dominator offers a range of products that focus on
ease of use, especially for start applications, and
wide effective ranges. Additionally, Dominator of-
fers two series of overlays, which they call budget
and premium. This can allow users who are newer
to using overlays to get started without breaking
the bank.
Tom Reinerth of Dominator says he wouldn’t leave
home without the Butter, Q6 and Race Rocket over-
lays. “Butter is for air temps above the melt and
snow temps above – 3 C,” says Reinerth. “Q6 is for
snow temps 0 – 12 C and Race Rocket for temps – 5
C and colder. All three are extremely easy to apply
at the start (which is our recommendation) and ap-
plication costs for these are at a fraction of the cost
of powder (and will not blow away in the breeze),
and will provide a similar and often superior result.
Clever users are now blending Q6 with Rocket or
Butter for even more enhanced performance.”
Holmenkol
Holmenkol offers three temperature ranges of highly proven overlays, divided into warm, mid, and cold; and offered in
powder, block and liquid forms.
Application, according to Rick Husk with Holmenkol, is simple: “Cork or felt it in, then brush. Powders can be ironed, as
well.” Additionally, many users report great success and durability by ironing in the powder, brushing it up, applying the
spray over top, and felting/brushing again to polish.
$244 for the powders; $180 for the liquid; $156 for the block
