I am looking for a press that will work well on iron-on Girl Scout badges. Can anyone tell me about the pressure feature?

I bought this to make t-shirt quilts. I love the job it does. It only takes about 8 seconds to fuse interfacing to fabric. Be sure to use a non-stick sheet to protect the hot side of the press.

Yes, I tested it out pressing down on a package scale. 30 lbs is actually a lot of pressure. Subjectively it feels like the amount of pressure one applies when kneading bread.

You shouldn't have to put much pressure at all. Are you using the special polish for stamping? Also I purchased this stamper and am very unhappy with it. I have a different one that works great. This one is poor quality and I couldn't get the image to transfer properly. Hope this helps

These dies use the industry-standard 7/8-14 thread pitch, that will work with all reloading presses using standard dies. That includes all Lee, RCBS, Dillon and Hornady presses. Don't have to buy any special press at all. My personal favourite for a single-stage is the old RCBS Rock Chucker. Classic design, available all over the place, and works just fine.

The Propresser Garlic Press works on ginger beautifully peeled OR with the skin on especially on those "little fingers" that can seem too much trouble to peel the skin off first. Simply cut in quarter to half inch slices that fit the basket and press. One recommendation, however, if you need more than one or two tablespoons of pressed ginger, peel the large pieces of ginger before pressing to speed up the process. Saves on cleaning out the ginger skins. For most work, however, you won't need to peel at all. Terrific tool!!!

I was ready to buy the Rowenta Advancer, but based on your review I am rethinking this model. Do you have any suggestions for a another brand or model iron? I own a DZ1700 which doesn't get hot enough to press linen. I just want a good heavy high-wattage iron with a pointy tip for pressing the tight spots.

If you give what specific press you have I can better answer your question. The following link is to the Lee Precision site. If you don't find your answer there, call Lee Precision... I have found them very knowledgeable and helpful when ever contacting them.http://leeprecision.com/safety-primer-feed-small-and-large.html

First, I LOVE this steam press!!!! When I first got it, I was ironing everything!!! Yes, it does iron sheets. You have to do it in sections. You might want to fold the sheet completely first and then iron it in sections. Don't know the weight, but it is manageable.

I sewed it on. But, there is a pretty good adhesive sheet that you can get called Badge Magic, you can try. I have used it for my daughters scout badges. But after several months, there are a few edges that are detaching, so I am going to sew those on. Hope this is helful.

It does go in a press. Most presses use a standardized thread this will fit into, I use an RCBS. Lyman publishes several books about reloading.

I have not used the bulge buster kit. I would give it a try. I hand load .480 Ruger, .44 Rem mag and .357 mag with great success using this press. I also use the ram-prime chucked in this press. **use case lube** **when using the "ram-prime" kit, I have to pull the handle down as though I'm priming to insert a primer and barely make room for the cartridge case to fit in the holder to prevent from flipping the primer when using. Otherwise, I'd say go for it

Should work well as you will need a fairly high heat and the press has a setting for linen which should do the trick. You might try the cotton setting first, then go to linen if cotton is not hot enough.

I have a single stage press. I do my reloading in stages. With the 9mm I have punched the primers and cleaned the shell and primer pocket but I have not reloaded any yet so I can't say. I will say that once properly set it should crimp in the very top of the case on each one.

You can contact Lyman customer support is great and they will answer your questions. I personally don't use the press for priming. I use a hand primer, RCBS or Lyman-both are great quality.

I have used this for all the badges for my girl scouts and boy scout regardless of iron on or not. It sticks right to the badge and then right to the uniform. It's so easy.

Generally speaking, presses have the same threads all around. It should work just fine.

I bought this press specifically for .223 no issues. You will need additional set of disk for the powder measure.
