My new project http://www.connoraston.com/albums/18-03 is made up from 2 x
3/4" mdf maple veneereed panels sandwiched together I bought 50mm wide pre
glued iron on edging but found it hard to get a common household iron to
provide enough constant heat. The question is can you get a dedicated Iron
for this that is hand held?

I have one of those wooden handled veneer irons. I've had better luck
with an old clothes iron.

An old cast iron "iron" a hotplate and a 1/4 plate of steel to cover
the hot plate, temp selection can be done using a multi meter with
temperature measure capabilties. You can even make odd shape irons and
heat them.

Those small hand-'tacker irons' are no way enough to do serious thermal
veneering.
The thrift shop idea is a good one...especially if you can find an old
iron..one without steam holes... they hold their heat and are worth
their weight in gold to me. I always scrounge for those.
Sorry Walt I thought you were taking the P*ss, I See what you mean an old
heavy Iron no stem holes good idea.
