In the Collage Classes that is taught in Lonecrow Studio that are not in a sketchbook use an irons and coating of papers.

When we aren't working with a tack iron, we are usually in a sketchbook with magazines and a glue stick.

List if some irons that can be used:

Green Encaustic Iron

House Iron General house Iron works, Cotton setting, no steam though.

Heat Seal Iron, "Tack Iron" These irons have become difficult to find, as the manufacture has stopped making them.

Oliso- Arts and Craft Iron, I just found this iron and it works great but of course no steam. I like this iron because it regulates the heat and set temperature.

Always use a safety release sheet between the iron and coated papers like parchment paper.
