I have the Reliable Velocity. There is no problem with the heat, steam or anything else, but the rubber stuff on the handle seems to be flaking. I thought it was something I am doing, but I saw another model in a quilt store doing the same. Has anyone else with a Reliable seen this?
It's on the side where your thumb goes so it can't be a ring doing it. (I don't have a thumb ring)
I can fix it with electrical tape if I have to, the iron itself works so well that I want to keep it.
