Works great.
Wouldn't the laminate table top be ok with moisture but not heat? What about the quilted Teflon fabric at Joann?
Plexiglass would not work but lexan would. I would just make sure the pad you use to iron with is thick.
Couple layers of felted wool blanket covered with Teflon fabric on one side and something not too slick on the other?
How much is lexan 4X4 ft or (2) 2ft X 4ft?
