I’d say not good as an industrial press, but ok if you use reflectives designed for domestic irons (thicker adhesive, lower melt point), stick to lower stretch/stress areas, and along seams (but not over) which will stretch less.
Follow instructions / watch YouTube for tips & tricks to get best results. If you’re pressing onto a domestic ironing board, it’s probably a ventilated grill or has lots of small holes in; pop an off cut of wood under the padded cover to get a completely flat, solid surface to press onto. The standard board surface gives irregular adhesion because of the ventilation.
