RE: How do you use a home iron for coating?
yes, it will work, but as the previous poster mentioned, you WILL get color on it. glue really isn't a problem, but that color will transfer to clothing for a long, long time, it is fairly hard to get off the iron.
buy a covering iron on tower, get the cheap one, they basically are all the same and are well worth it. You MAY be able to use a hairdryer for touchup use, most of them have over-temp sensors though, so it may shut itself off.
