First post here...woohoo

I've been tuning for 15 years and use a regular old clothes iron. There is no need to buy one of those expensive kits that includes a special "wax" iron. Just make sure when the iron contacts your board it isn't hot enough to smoke the wax, and make sure you move it around to distribute the wax accordingly. Tuning is really quite easy to do. It typically takes me one beer per board.
