## Description

smoothing filament, pet clothes, tape bonding, sneaker silicone, clothes silicone, coffee paper filter crimping

Review: Great, less expensive substitute for Hobby specific trim iron. - Was unable to find a shrink coat trim iron for my model airplane covering tight spots. The Hobbico, Tower and Hangar9 trim irons are all out of stock and costing nearly $50. This iron has an almost identical ironing shoe and cost less than 50% of the others. Luckily I read about this iron on one of the model airplane forums and desertcart had them in stock. I finally got mine after some ordering problems and used it the other night. It works greag and is higly recommended. The low heat setting are just a little below 200 degrees F and the high a little over 325, which works well for sealing most coveings around servo openings on wings and fuselages. Highly recommended.
Review: Needs a sock for RC airplane covering film - Update 1/13/2026: I made a sock for it using some heavy cotton t-shirt like material. Works good now! Original: Too hot for Hanger9 Ultracote covering film for RC airplanes. It only has two heat settings. Even on the low setting it quickly melts the film or makes the glue ooze out and you end up smearing it around. Maybe a sock will help?

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone used this to iron on a small patch to clothing? Does it get hot enough?**
A: Very hot!!!  Can burn your fingers quick. Love it for my small quilt pieces

**Q: How hot does it get?**
A: 302-356F (150-180C) and 464-545F (240-285C), according to the manufacturer. It's shown in one of the pictures, not the word salad description, and this is reasonable question. I hope this answer is actually helpful.

**Q: Has anyone used this with seam sealing tape?  How does this iron fair with this application?**
A: Are you talking about lightweight sewing "iron on" tape? Probably will work, but for most uses there, I'd just use a steam iron unless it's some some very intricate work. If you are referring to something like carpet seaming tape, I seriously doubt it. It simply doesn't produce the heat of have the area coverage for that.

**Q: can i use this to iron cotton box masks?**
A: It is an iron used in paper foundation quilting. It is very small. It might be too small for ironing masks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Diverse tool but could be hotter
*by J***. on February 14, 2021*

I purchased this primarily as something more compact to iron seams when sewing. I liked the idea that it could serve a dual purpose of pushing out corners and ironing fabric at the same time. Previously I was using a small travel iron that didn’t get very hot. After reading reviews I was confident that this would be the solution but I don’t find that this gets very hot either. I was also very off put by the smell which hasn’t gone away after a few uses. I don’t even know how to describe it but it made me really nauseous the first use. Hopefully it will go away soon. Overall, it’s good in a pinch and hopefully we can get some diverse usage out of it. I just wish it got hotter and didn’t produce such an awful smell.
