It’s easy.  Hot Wax them with a good Alpine wax, full length and right over the scales..  while the wax is still liquid use a bristle brush, soft cloth or a wad of paper towel to remove the excess wax from the scaled area.  Cool, scrape (gently in the scaled area) and buff with a shoe brush.  This will cost you a bit of grip on climbs, perhaps 10-20%, but the gain in glide and freedom from icing makes it more than worth it.  I’ve been doing it for years.
