I use this 'sealing iron' by Hanger 9. I purchased mine from a local (huge) airplane model craft store.
Gwen (sunnycentralfl) recommended it to me a few years ago.
It gets very hot. I especially like the slated tip-perfect for pressing small pieces and paper piecing.
I have seen these same irons for 3x the money in Quilt shops.

I also bought a count down timer I plug it into that I am able to set to turn off in a certain amt of time.

Here is the timer.

It allows you to pick how long you want it to be on - 1 hour for example vs by time of day. I also use it with my cheap regular iron (not at the same time).

A lot of my frineds have the Rowenta travel iron and love it. It is available at Sears here in Canada for about $40. I have the Procter Silex Travel Iron and it is a good iron too. The handle come off to store away in a little bag so very compact for travel. I have a Clover iron that I received as a gift probably 5 years ago and have never taken it out of the package. I am doing an applique workshop in a couple of weeks so perhaps I will take it with me.

I got a kick out of the timer mentioned, a good idea I think but when checking site
I noticed the price was $8 something and shipping was $9 something. I will check out the hardward.lol

I've had the Rowenta travel iron for a couple of years and love it! It seems to be a popular iron at retreats, too. I've seen them in quite a few stores but prices seem to vary considerably.

I have my second Rowenta travel iron. I had the first one for several years until it died last year. I like them because they are small and have steam. It can also be used as a dry iron.
I bought mine when it was on sale at Jo-Ann.
