12v iron needed for my patchwork craft

If you are talking a clothes iron ...... it's just not going to happen on 12 volts.

The average clothes iron is around 1200 to 1500 watts ...... that simply is not practical on 12 volts.

there where petrol powered clothes irons made in the past and still available used as curiosities.

Yes there are still butane and petrol powered clothes irons currently made ...... but hell they cost $200+

there are still old style flat irons available new that you heat on a stove

OR .... start the generator ..... or wait till you are on a powered site.

cheers

There are 2 different types on eBay, one draws 5 amps, the other one 12.5 amps.

You can also run a 240 volt soldering iron from a small inverter connected to your 12 volt battery.

There is such a thing as a butane iron. I thought Coleman made them years ago. Otherwise get an old heavy iron and heat it on the gas stove?

Thanks for the ideas, yep don't need too much heat to press down the seams. Figured there had to be a way. Hubby fishes, I patchwork.
Cheers
