Default Can I use a clothes iron in place of "seam iron" on carpet?

It works but it is tough on the iron. Be sure it is one your wife
doesn't want. It also does not work in the gap like a real carpet
iron. You need to iron the back.


How hot would a housewife iron get? Likely would be a messy job.
IIRC, a carpet iron reaches ~ 1500ºF. A much cleaner method.
