These irons can find them for about 13 €.
If you want a specific iron for snow you will have to spend more money.

The wax that we used is a wax for all snow temperatures.
We put the wax in contact with the iron at low temperature so that it melts and dripping on the sole, so we spreading droplets across the surface of the table.

Once applied the wax we have to “iron” the wax and spread all around the sole from the front to the back and will spread the melting wax to create a wax evenly throughout the bottom of the table.

Once all the wax is extended we leave to dry for a day, if you are in a hurry, let dry at least for 30-40min.

In this picture you can see the wax spread all around the sole.
