RE: Best Low Temp Iron On Covering For Foam?
Go to the sign shop. Get some vinyl and throw your iron out the window!
There are 2 types. Cast and Calandered. Cast is the nice stuff, thin, flexible, glossy, and good for 7 years! (Like the plane will last that long...) But it is 2-5 time the cost of Calandered.
The Calandered is the cheep stuff, but is thicker, has a duller finish, but is cheep! It is also now available in what they call "Premium"
The premium is just a hair more, but is glossy.
Tons of colors to choose from... much more than our iron ons. I have been using it for years on everything from jets to giant scale.
The only downside is that it is more flexable. Which means it dosn't add much strength. The good thing is you can actually wrap a ball with one piece and have NO wrinkles. Just use your heat gun to pull some stretch out of it. It will even shrink just a little if you need it to.
A 15" x 150' (Foot!!) roll will cost about $45-$60 for the cheep stuff. But go to a sign shop and they'll sell it to you by the yard for $1-$5 depending on the colors.
