A fabulous idea!   I suspect one could use a cheap travel iron although  one needs to devise a way to collect melted paraffin.   Even our fancy para trimmer didn't have catch pan for paraffin drippings.    I suggest using a new or receycled aluminum baking pans available in supermarkets, discount stores or a recycled frozen food pan without separations.  These pans come in various sizes and depths.   The joy is toss pans when full of paraffin.

If you want a cheaper alternative you can use a ski wax iron. They cost about $40. I mounted one upside down in a bucket and it works just as well as the $500 para trimmers.
