Thanks,

The best thing to do is systematically go up in temperature until the
wax starts to melt. I think its the best thing to do because then you
know for sure you're not over heating. Just like the other posts, keep
the iron moving at all times. Also if you notice little black streaks
coming from the wax or iron, that means some of the wax is burning and
leaving carbon residue. So dial it back down a little.

Not only do you not want to burn your board, you don't want to burn your
wax either.
