Can I seal vacuum bag with an iron?

My immediate concern was addressed in a couple videos I found onlinr: Seal it between aluminum foil so that the plastic doesn't melt all over your iron. Looks like it takes a pretty low setting, about ten seconds. Might require some trial and error to get just right. Saw someone else use a hair straightening iron.

Excellent! Thank you!

You can use parchment paper when ironing plastic as well - I've done so when recycling plastic grocery bags - using a very low setting - too much heat and the plastic bubbles and makes holes.

Thank you, carolb! I’ve now researched typical temperatures for clothing irons…. and wonder if these vacuum seal bags can handle steam? I want to use the bag to hold my willow both for soaking and steaming.
