Hold the iron perpendicular to the snowboard and rub the wax directly onto the iron.

Let the wax drip off the iron and onto the snowboard. Cover the entire board evenly with drips.

Only a thin layer of wax is needed. The more wax you put on, the more you will have to scrape off later. Keep this information in mind when deciding how much wax to melt onto the board. It is better to put on too little and add some on than to have too much and have to scrape it off.
