If I want to hot wax it, what is the temp do I need to turn up the iron to?

I do not use an "Official Waxing Iron" just an old steam iron (no water of course), I set mine on 4-5 on the dial (6 is where the "steam" settings start). The most important part of what ever setting you use on what ever iron you use, keep it below where the wax starts to smoke. If the iron is held fairly vertical and melted wax runs off the iron without smoking, you have a good starting setting. When ironing the drips into a smooth coating on the bases, KEEP THE IRON MOVING! Do not let it sit still and risk burning your ptec base material! the is so easy a caveman could do it, even me !!!

For Super Hot Sauce the directions say 189 degrees F. I do not want to want my skis to get too hot (afraid that excessive heat can damage them)! So I determined what setting on the cheap iron that I use is 189 F by putting the iron on a digital thermometer (on a safe surface) and turning up the iron until it maintained a temperature around 190 F. In practice I use a little more heat than that and keep the iron moving.

I set my iron on 185'. If it smokes, turn down your iron and keep the iron moving on the base

I set the temp on high and drip the wax on the board or ski then use the iron to distribute the wax evenly then scrape off excess.

the exact temp is on the packaging for the wax. I turn my iron on high and use a harbor freight thermometer to get me in the ball park.

Hot enough to melt the solder but not the came. Try it on a test piece of came...if the came melts, the iron is too hot.

i don't think so...my best way to remove wax i with a clean rag and an iron. keep moving the rag to a clean area as the wax melts onto it. you'll have to dump the rag and sometimes scrub the iron surface for residue.

You'll have to hold it near a small flame to warm the wax. It's a two-handed operation with a lighter, but it works well enough.

I have been told by my hair dresser to not use the iron over 350-375 degrees. My iron goes up to 450 degrees. I was told to tread lightly on those higher temps in order to not damage my hair. Hope this helps :)

Temperature Settings: * Sugar (low): 104 degrees Fahrenheit + or - 10 degrees * Paraffin (medium): 167 degrees Fahrenheit + or - 6 degrees * Wax: 221 degrees Fahrenheit + or - 4 degrees * High: 259 degrees Fahrenheit + or - 3 degrees and the diameter is only 3.75"!!!!!!!!

You can use any flat iron that goes up to 150 degrees. Because that is the temperature you need to push the keratin into the inner cuticle.

Did you pour the wax into the little bucket that it comes with? It won't warm up if the wax is in the original can. You have to warm it & dump it in.

The soldering iron varies from 350F to 850F. So you have plenty of control over the temp. I normally use around 750F.

No, it doesn't have the option to adjust the temperature -- just an on/off switch. It heats up to 410 degrees but as long as you don't leave it in one spot for too long and use a heat protectant, it shouldn't burn your hair. The high heat and ceramic plates are actually a good thing because it seals the cuticle, making your hair appear super-shiny. Cheaper models that don't heat up as much just end up drying out your hair, making a frizzy problem worse in the long run, and will contribute to breakage. This flat iron is worth its weight in gold!

It gets very hot so I would not recommend that. I have never had a burn using the iron normally.

Dear Customer,Thanks for your question from Bellehome.it takes about 40 minutes for heating the wax.and you can adjust the temperature.Normally we advise that you'd better cut the wax into pieces for fast heating.Hope above information is helpful for you,ThanksBest RegardsYoursBellehome Customer Service

Michelle, if it's the waffle iron made by Rome Industries, as shown here, it IS wax and the cast iron is NOT seasoned yet. the reason for the wax is to prevent the cast iron from rusting during shipping. Place both pieces of the waffle iron on the upper rack in your oven. Please a layer of tin foil on the rack below to catch the drippings and heat the oven to 250 degrees or so to melt the wax off. After the wax is melted, you can season the iron. I like to use olive oil. Use a pastry brush or a small (new) paintbrush to make sure to get it in all the grooves. Although the directions say to bake it at 350, the pores of the iron won't open until at least 400 degrees, so bake it at 400 for about 40 minutes. Make sure to have a pan or foil underneath to catch anything that may drip. I usually season my new cast iron 2 or 3 times prior to using it to ensure a really nice starting seasoning. Hope that helps! Good luck! Julie Mik

Well, it goes up to 450 degrees that is one of the hottest ones out there. I have thick curly hair, and it works perfect. I got the 2 inch one and great and I have tried a lot of flat irons and so far this one is great!

400? It doesn't seem like it. It gets hot enough to fix some frizzy strands that have been previously straightened using a full size iron. I could not use it as a primary iron. Good to stash in bag or car for a touch up on the go.

I put it in a throw away tin and heat it. You can use a microwave just make sure you check the temperature of the wax before you slap it on your skin so you don't get burned

No you have to use a special wax, theirs. I just gave mine away as took forever to warm the wax...onto the next brand.
