Default RE: How do you use a home iron for coating?

The answer would be very carefully

It is easy enough to do, make sure the iron is set to dry (no steam) and use one of the lower heat settings. I would suggest that you start with the lowest setting and increase it slowly till the bubbles dissappear. I haven't used a cloth under the iron but if you are concerned about the finish then it would be wise to. If you are only taking out bubbles you shouldn't need a cloth, just hover the iron slightly above the surface.

I have seen pictures of an ARF factory in China where they were using standard household irons (probably from the factory next door ) to apply covering.
