If no such room be provided, it should be clamoured for, because the waxing of Skis is a much more difficult job without it. The patent iron "Para" is helpful where no electric iron is provided. "Para" is an oblong perforated metal box with a handle which screws in. Almost any wax can be ironed in, but I think the hard black "Skiolin" is best for the purpose.
Waxes are of many kinds, and some runners, not content with what they buy, prefer to mix their own. The waxes most used in Switzerland are Skiolin, both hard and soft, Sohms' with red, yellow or green label, and Parafine. I have found that hard Skiolin ironed into the running surface of the Ski with a hot iron, provides a good surface.
