How to use a waxing iron?

Certainly, you can use a Holmenkol waxing iron to melt the wax and it seems a pretty simple process as well. However, you should never try to use your clothes iron. A specialized and dedicated wax iron should be purchased if you want to wax your skis or snowboards on a regular basis. They can hold specific wax temperatures more accurately. Toko, Toko, and Holmenkol are the best brands that manufacture waxing irons.

Ski & Snowboard waxing equipment list:

• Workbench, or waxing platform
• Rubber bands to hold ski brakes up
• Plastic Wax Scraper
• Waxing Brushes
• Wax
• Waxing iron

Place the Skis or Snowboard on your bench

First place the ski or snowboard flat and securely on the bench. Make sure they don’t move while you wax on them.

Drip Wax onto the Skis or Snowboard

Safely hold the hot Swix waxing iron straight with one corner facing down. Then press the wax to the iron and start moving it around on the hot surface. When the hot iron starts melting the wax, it will spread all over the ski or snowboard. Next, you need to spread the wax evenly so it penetrates the entire base. Make sure that you keep moving the Toko waxing iron at all times to prevent damage to the base by overheating.

Let the wax cool completely

It’s recommended that you leave your skis or snowboard at room temperature until it completely cools down.
