Do I have to have the heat press or can I use a normal Iron? Are there specific instructions for the iron method?

Normal Iron. Yes, there is instructions but it is inferior paper and I could never get it to work.

No you can not use heat tools. The hair is not real hair. The hair will melt

I understand your problem. This iron is superior at all the temps, with or without steam and with double steam. It had been 20 years since I purchased an iron. I consulted Consumer Reports; it rated this iron as the best available. The only place I could find one was Amazon; none were available in any stores within a 50 mile radius. I would recommend it to you for ironing at any temperature. As a seamstress, I find it perfect for fusables as well as sheers, velvets, cottons, denim, and paper patterns.

No, this product is not able to be applied with a household iron. You will need a commercial grade heat press both for temp and pressure. Best of luck

I used cotton shirts as well as polyester zip up. Unfortunately my heat press started having issues after 1-2 months so I'm now returning it :-(

Yes. One tip....get a flat iron with controllable heat settings!! But this product helps!!

These plates have a ceramic coating so I'm not sure if you actually have to or not. My sister has the same one and she does not. I would say it really depends the how hot you are letting the the flat iron get. I always use a heat protector on my hair if I'm using a heated styling tool. Hope that helps!

follow the directions that come with the kit. I used an iron rather then the tool that comes with it. Spend enough time to match the color. This I found is the hardest part. Directions are easy to follow. GOOD LUCK

It's easy but don't expect a perfecty pressed shirt that an iron can do. The steamer is better for sweaters and softer fabrics.

We use a regular ironing board. We have only used regular boards and this iron work awesome.

I don't know how to iron, and this thing is way too big. I got a steamer and worked my way slowly, it got a lot better, and I left it mounted for a while it removed most of it. Good luck.

I found that the iron was not hot enough. I did not use steam, but clothing was not hot to the touch the second after ironing that spot like they were on my old iron. I don't want to have to go over the same spot more than once or twice to iron a wrinkle out. I found that was what I had to do.

Not much help here! I don't iron clothes unless I have to! I quilt so I iron fabric. I ironed my Christmas placemats in about 10 minutes and they look brand new again. I have only had my press a few weeks

Wash in delicate cycle remove promtly, then hang dry and iron with a cotton pillow case or similar to avoid burning, use silk setting on your iron it is a good material and it responds well to low temperatures.

The pot should not be placed directly on the heat source. You should heat the water separately and pour it into the press.

Yes you can. The heavy iron is a perfect conductor of heat and it works great.

yes preheating is essential, get a pizza peeler to transfer prepared crust to cast iron.
