I think I know where you are coming from but may throw some newbies off. Its safe to place the iron on once wax is applied on, dont hold it in one spot but keep the iron moving and make the wax nice and flat on the base, dont forget to get most of your tips (at least half way up) as they are the first things to glide on the snow. A good way i fond about scraping is keep going until the wax starts coming off pretty fin, if you dont take enough off dont worry, after a run on the snow they will be slow but will speed up at the skis are ridden. Sharpen your edges wile you are at it and you should have some fast, well carving ski's. This is good stuff accept I dont understand the “Never place the iron directly on the base of skis”.
