I'v used the sprinkling and refrig. deal. my mom had a soft drink bottle with this sprinkle cap on it that she use to use.Here's a tip if your iron is not as slick as you like, run it over a piece of wax paper while it's on. cleans it right up. Just had to do this as some how my iron sat down on my plastic point turner and melted in to the iron. DUH!!!
