smartyiakSure. I bought one a Goodwill for like $10. Just make sure it's not too hot when using.
IHUFFPAINTGoodwill would be the move tho
evaroniI used to wax my skis. Then I found out the ski wax manufacturers were all owned by the same corporation that operates FIS.
Now i I just raw-dog it because I’m core.
TOAST.Wax is the biggest scam in the industry. Oh let me melt this shit on my skis just to scrape it off right away, what a joke. Can't believe how many sheep follow this nonsense.
KilaTsunamiCan’t tell if you’re serious or not. If so please elaborate.
TOAST.Its a conspiracy set up by big wax to offset low wax sales due to the increase in popularity of electric candles.

RparrI am so fucking addicted to waxing my skis. If I don't after every 4 or so days of riding, I feel super off, I stick to rails, I don't feel like I'm carrying speed, ect. I only go thru like 1 bar per season so I'm alright with it. I even like it as a pre-skiing ritual of sorts
SlimeTimeThanks for the insight
RparrYeah I know it has nothing to do with the original question, but I saw people debating whether or not wax does anything, so I felt compelled to chime in as an absolute wax addict
SofaKingSicki didn't comment on that because hopefully people will realize those were just jokes. waxing is very important (and cheap and easy)

RparrI dunno man, out here in Ohio a ton of kids either don’t wax or wax like twice a year. They’re missing out

runforlove2018Back to OP's original question. You can but it's a bad idea. Clothes irons can heat unevenly and likely can get too hot. A ski wax iron you can set to a specific temperature and know it will work as designed.
Would you also wash your car with a straw broom? No I didn't think so.
If you're gonna take the time to wax skis, do it right. Otherwise what's the point.
