My hubby made me one out of the 1/2 round & I like it better because the doweling lies nice & flat. I did cover mine with heat proof fabric (not the stuff you use for pot holders) but this stuff is thin with a dull, almost aluminum looking coating on one side. This helps reflect the heat from the iron. I think it's the stuff they use for ironing board covers. Excuse me, I can't think of the names right now, I'm having a senior moment. LOL
