Overview

This digital iron is uniquely designed for heat shrinking fabric onto vintage aircraft and ultralights with fantastic results. The digital temperature control maintains temperature precisely – set it and forget it – no more calibrating and continuous adjustments. The base plate is twice the thickness of an ordinary iron keeping the temperature uniform across the plate. And the shovel tip will get you in and out of the tightest corners – without a wrinkle. Comes with a non-slip pad for setting down while in use, and an insulated storage bag that lets you put the iron away even if the base plate is still warm. Easy to travel with too. The guys will be fighting over who gets to use it — so get two!

    Saves Time And Effort
  • Fabric installation on fabric covered aircraft is a time-intensive art form. High dollars and aircraft performance and safety is at stake. The Fabric Pro Digital Iron is designed exclusively for shrinking Ceconite and similar materials. Clothes iron are not the right tool. Having to wait for an iron to get to optimal temperature and re-calibrate it frequently costs you in both labor and hanger time. With the Fabric Pro iron just set and forget...the digital control maintains the set base plate temperature all day and without constant calibration. The proprietary base plate made specifically thicker for aircraft fabric applications ensures more uniform temperatures and better finishes.

    Endorsed by Poly Fiber and Ceconite
  • For years, Poly Fiber and Ceconite, the major manufacturers of heat shrinkable aircraft fabric, searched for reliable household irons that they could recommend with confidence. Unfortunately, the quality of household laundry irons has degraded in recent years, resulting today in unreliable laundry irons that could not be calibrated accurately with the precision necessary for aviation. Thus, these manufacturers consulted with the manufacturer to produce a fabric iron with a built-in temperature feedback loop to insure accurate, consistent temperature. Both Poly Fiber and Ceconite now fully endorse and recommend Fabric Pro Irons.

Should have purchased years ago. A must have for even heat shrinking fabric. Save your old more ergonomic iron for tape smoothing though.

The only way to iron fabric. Dont waste your time with a household iron. The manual should not even make that a option. You will waste time chasing Temps. With this iron set and forget. Couldnt be happier.

Has to work better than all the recalibrating the old household irons. Upcoming project.

Best iron ever, 30 years of chasing temps. Now with this iron I can just set it and it stays. Nice shape for getting into those hard to reach areas as well.

Temperature control is excellent. Overall the FabricPro is a big step up from clothing irons and I strongly recommend it. The FabricPro does have room for improvement: 1) There are too many turns required on the temperature selector dial. Dont require as many clicks to move a degree or incorporate a velocity algorithm in the temperature controller to change the set point faster if youre rapidly turning. 2) the hot plate is bare aluminum so poly brush sticks to it. For ironing tapes youll need a Teflon ironing sheet, which is awkward and slow. 3) I wish that there was a bigger (full size) and smaller sealing-iron sized version too.

Love this thing! Easy to use, lightweight, accurate and does not shut off. It is a purpose made tool. I had a hell of a time finding an iron that does not shut off. Lucked out with this item. Would recommend for sure.
