What is the temp setting on the iron, and will it work on nylon?

The temp setting on your iron does not make a difference. This product does not adhere fabrics together. It will melt but it will not adhere. I went to fabric store and bought hem bond by Singer and it worked like a charm even at low settings. Don't waste your money or your time.

May do it...used it on weight belt material, did not cut hole completely, used a solder iron to clean up the hole and melt the nylon. May work fine on leather. Cheap enough to try.

I've used this iron for several months now and very happy with it. Time from turn on to 725 degrees is about 30 seconds. Spare heat element and lots of tips to choose from too. In my opinion it's a great iron at a very good price.

I've been happy with how hot this iron gets. I also like its weight - which should help with heavier fabrics - you won't have to apply as much pressure.

the iron has circle wheel setting from low to max which is up to 450 degrees. It is 1/2 inch width with grip ridges on the tip for easy handling. It was a great buy for me, because it really get the roots straight and I'm able to control it the entire time. I hope this answers your questions.

The Norpro website states that the silicone is high heat resistant to 450°F/230°C. The Nylon clip is also heat resistant to the same temperature.

It has an off button. You dial it to the type of fabric you will be pressing like perm press, cotton, linen. The steam temp will be determined by your fabric choice. It's a great iron.

You will have to make sure your iron stay below 150 C (302 F), or you could damage the Mylar. Note that the minimum steam setting of your iron is 100 C, so if you can use that temperature for your adhesive, you should be fine. Otherwise you will have to figure out a way of measuring the temperature of the iron, or just trying it on a test piece. A simpler thing to do would be to buy metalized buble wrap. A variety that I have used called Reflectrix Insulation model BP48050 has an R value that ranges from 7 to 3, depending on how you use it. It's pretty inexpensive and will save you a lot of time.

I cannot tell you a temp but I have really coarse hair that requires an extra hot iron and this one gets really hot.

It gets pretty hot.. There is no temp control on it. I'm assuming 400, since that the max on most flat irons

Only if your iron can get into the temp range of 140-170 degrees F. Also a heat-press applies very consistent and absolute firm pressure throughout the 30-50 seconds that the transfer needs to complete the bond to the material correctly.

The iron is turned on and temp selected by a twist dial on the body of the iron. I bought this for my wife, who has gone through 4-5 different irons in as many years it seems... she likes this one the best. :)

Fortunately I haven't had the problem the other reviewer refers to. I sew for a living and this iron is on for about 6 to 8 hours a day. Yes, they mention a bit about settings but depending on the material you are using and the amount of steam you are applying... the setting will depend. I use setting #4 (settings run #'s 1-5) the most for 100% cottons and corduroys. I bump up to #5 for heavy canvas. These are the materials I use most. I would suggest you try the various settings on the material you use to determine what works best for you since this iron is nothing like a retail/home use iron. My last iron was an Oliso and while I loved it...it just couldn't keep up. Sputtered and splattered all over the place. IF you purchase the Sapporo, be sure to purchase the demineralizer to extend the life of your iron. If you purchase this iron, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Carmen: I have tried it on ribbon and it works well. Careful about getting it to hot or it will singe the material. Off course it depends a lot on the material in the ribbon. The more nylon the better.

It works just as well either way. Usually depending on what you are ironing. Its got good even heat and lightweight. I really like mine.

I'm not 100% positive but I think this is a magnetic pick up and I don't think it will work with nylon strings.

The unit doesn't hit a high enough temperature to print with nylon, but it can print with Ninja Flex and the new carbon fiber filaments.
