Iron on edging on chipboard

[Arjay12345]

Hi – I’d need to apply some iron-on edging to some chipboard cupboard doors. In the past I have ended up heating too much so the edging has melted any become pitted. Any tips on how to get a better finish? I’m going to use a lower temperature on my household iron (that’s all I have available to me) but it’s still a guessing game on whether glue has melted.

I was thinking on applying a fine filler into the chipboard grain and sand to fill in pits but I wonder whether that will interfere with adhesion in the longer terms

Any tips appreciated

Thanks vm..

Use hot iron ( cotton setting ) and tissue or paper between iron and tape , keep iron moving to avoid overheating .

Iron it like you would your wife's fine silk panties, not your y-fronts.
