Heat N Bond Iron-On Vinyl in Gloss Finish
Create Laminated Fabrics with Iron-On Vinyl
Protect your fabrics with precision using HeatnBond Iron-On Vinyl – Gloss Finish from Therm-O-Web, a trusted name in textile innovation for nearly 50 years. This flexible, water-repellent film applies easily to fabric or paper with heat, creating a permanent, UV-resistant layer that enhances durability while preserving design clarity with a glossy finish. Ideal for crafting your own laminated fabrics, it’s a practical solution for projects like placemats, tote bags, aprons, art smocks, and more.
Iron-On Vinyl is not an adhesive—it adds a protective surface layer and remains sewable, allowing you to stitch through it with either a regular or non-stick foot. With a width of 17 inches and a protective paper liner to assist with safe application, this material offers control, clean results, and a professional finish. Whether you're crafting functional items for everyday use or enhancing decorative pieces, this vinyl coating is a reliable, high-performance choice for both sewing and mixed-media projects.

Tips
- Always use a protective cover. Do NOT touch iron directly to vinyl on either side of the project.
- For double-sided vinyl projects, adhere sticky side of vinyl to the remaining side of material and repeat steps 3–5.
- Pre-wash all materials (without fabric softener) before fusing. Pre-test adhesive on all materials.
- Do not touch iron directly to the vinyl. Always cover vinyl with protective sheet or parchment paper before ironing. Do not iron directly on your ironing board.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth. If washing is required, wash on a gentle cycle and line dry. If any peeling or crinkling occurs, cover the vinyl with parchment paper and re-iron.
