I really like that iron for pressing back seams while I'm paper piecing. The only thing I don't like about it is that the cord is modular, and it comes out of the plug on the side of the iron far too easily. I need to remember to glue that in before I do any more paper piecing - it's a pain in the neck.
I have the same problem with the plug on the side of the iron - I use a heavy rubber band to hold the plug into the iron. Works OK - I would wonder about using glue on a connection like this.
It is a handy little bugger.
