Ok so I have weaxed my board multiple times, and I have to say i am a newb to average waxer. I know i know wax ofter BUT I have a question..does it matter if you use an old iron your mom used to iron your dads shirts (the one with the small holes in the bottom) or one of those meant for snowboard irons?? anyone with an idea would be a great help!

I use an old iron we had around the house. It works fine. Just make sure you get the iron to a temp that allows the wax to melt but not smoke.

it don't matter

you just want to melt and spread the wax like butter on hot toast.

holes only cause a risk of wasting your materials.

no stress

Yeah I picked up an old iron from a car boot sale to use, works a treat.
