Making an ironing surface
We have been using a piece of Lauan wrapped in a pillowcase-style cover for a while, and it has been a great ironing surface. But since it’s wood, and there is steam involved, the wood has warped. Tonight I bought a new piece to replace it, but I started wondering if I could cover it with something heat resistant and water tight to keep it from warping. The only thing that came to me was aluminum foil. I had some heavy duty foil so I have wrapped it up. I double folded the seams and taped them on the back. I think the tape will eventually degrade. Do you think this will do the job? My cover is in the wash so I can’t put it back on right now.
