I bought some of that silver stuff and it stuck to my iron on the highest settings. I've never had a commercially made ironing board cover of that fabric to stick like that. I am glad I tried it out before I stapled it down. My board now consists of 1" thick plywood, a layer of heavy duty foil, two layers Warm & Natural, topped of with some blah old cotton twill the color of dirty dishwater. (I think it is supposed to be blue?) I didn't have any other use for it but it made a perfect cover for the board. When it gets dirty, I will make a new cover with elastic to pop over that one.
