To provide an iron and its using method capable of uniformly applying wax on the gliding surface of an on-snow gliding board such as a ski, a snowboard without getting surroundings dirty with the wax and capable of surely applying the wax without flawing the gliding surface by a high temperature.

This iron is provided with an iron body 2 and a heat generating plate 3 formed on the bottom surface of this body 2 to apply the wax W to the gliding surface of the on-snow gliding board via the plate 3 to improve gliding property and the feature of the iron is that the plate 3 is adhered by a sheet for impregnating with the wax 6.
