have the text printed out in reverse so the transfer would be legible

about the transferring process and if it would work; using a warm
iron.

I have used some iron-on material for applying photographs to tee-shirts,
with moderate success. I think you will have difficulty applying even
pressure between the *FLAT* iron and the curved surface of the turning.

It's not as easy as ironing a transfer onto a t-shirt, but it's certainly not
rocket science either. That's how I put "trademarks" onto the baseball bats I
made for my kids. Just takes patience.

As to reversing the image--yes, if you're going onto a white or light
colored surface. If you're going onto a dark surface, there is a different
iron-on material which includes a black background, and which requires no
reversal. If you can get the process to work, you will have to decide for
each object, whether to treat it as white or black.

???? In all cases, the image needs to be printed mirror-reversed so that it
will appear correctly on the object. This has _absolutely nothing_ to do with
the color of either the image or the background.
