  It almost sounds like the iron is too hot.  What temperature is it set
for?  If it has no temperature dial, you might consider a 120v->100v AC
stepdown transformer.  They're fairly common. (As a travel-transformer for
folks visiting from Japan, at least.  This means that they're sold
domestically, however).
