What temperature should we melt the wax on the iron?

We suggest the temperature of the iron to be around 250°F, and no hotter than 275°F. You should not heat the wax to the point where it is smoking, and always work in a well-ventilated room. The wax on the base of the skis should not exceed 225°F to get the saturation penetrated into the skis. Wax should then be scraped off the skis at room temperature.
