Step 1: Materials Required

Materials required for this project are:

1) Aluminium Foil

2) Old Iron

3) Cutter and scissors

4) Screwdriver(s).

Step 2: Open the Iron

Lets begin by opening the cloth iron to reach the iron base. Main goal is to expose the base so that we can wrap the foil on the iron.

Step 3: Cut the Aluminium Foil

Cut the foil to approximate shape of your iron base. Leave about one centimeter from all ends. These ends will fold in.

Step 4: Apply Thermal Paste (Optional)

Now apply a clean and uniform layer of thermal paste. This step is optional if you want cleaner results.

REMEMBER to use a high grade paste which withstands high temperatures .

Step 5: Wrap the Foil

Carefully wrap the foil around as clean as you can. Remove any air bubbles and wrinkles with your fingers or sponge.

Step 6: Pack Up Time

Reassemble the iron parts carefully as they were before.
