OK. So I did four pairs of skis with my version of the posts above. Cold crayoned (for maximum coverage), hot crayoned making sure the drips from the iron landed on the base, ironed in wax, used fiberlene to soak up wax. After the cure time, easy peasy scrape and brush.
Without a doubt, this uses less wax than just dripping and just as noticeably, the clean up was easier since there is less mess.
Improvements for this process for "me" is to get the fiberlene sheets. I just bought a new roll of fiberlene so I have a bit. I did dabble with doubling up the sheets and all and ended up with leaving it as one ply still on the roll, but unrolling about 16" or 18". I then start with the iron in a corner next to the rolled up part, go a little, then the opposite corner, then the middle, then repeat one row down. Seems to work well.
Only have about another 120' to go before my next purchase
