Could i wax my snowboard using a hair dryer instead of an iron?

lol... no, it's never going to get hot enough to actually melt the wax.Could i wax my snowboard using a hair dryer instead of an iron?
No, it would be impossible for a hair dryer to get hot enough to melt wax. Even if it did, you would need a flat surface to smooth the wax out, and that surface would have to remain at a steady temperature.





Even if you can't afford a professional iron, you can just pick up a $5 clothes iron at Walmart and that would work fine.Could i wax my snowboard using a hair dryer instead of an iron?
It is my professional opinion that irons get too hot for the base layers of material on the snowboard's face. I put my hair dryer on low. If you were using an iron, it would mean that you would have about 6 more hours of quality riding on a good quality wax for your board. Please respect the sport and get it done right.
before i bought an iron, i used a heat gun. it worked fine, it had a tip that i could put on to spread the wax on the board.





Im sure the hair dryer will melt the wax, just try it. But with an iron you can use way less wax, so if you wax often your gonna be buying wax all the time.
maybe if you have a professional dryer that gets super hot...you should just get a heat gun.





Don't you love it when people type ';lol'; at the begining of their answer? I just love it when people make you feel stupid for asking an honest question. **note the sarcasm**
I would recommend NOT doing that. It probably won't work well, and potentially be messier than waxing a board already can be.





There are many ';how to'; videos on YouTube. Watch a few, cause everyone does it a little different.
The point of using an iron is to melt the wax to smooth it out very thin on the base layer of your board, so blowing warm air wont melt the wax.
No, it will never get hot enough. and a heat gun will burn the base of the board
