The ShreSha Tacking Iron shoe has a non-stick coating, rounded sides and a pointed tip for access to hard-to-reach areas.
The ShreSha Tacking Iron’s temperature range is 100-220°C (212 to 428°F) for conserving a range of materials. The rectangular area of the tacking iron is approximately five square inches.

The Tacking iron has a twelve-inch power cord for a long reach.
Tips for the use of the ShreSha Tacking Iron:
- Frequently lifting the tacking materials away from the materials under conservation prevents overheating.
- Cleaning the tacking iron between two uses prevents contamination of the later treated material.
- Use heat seat tissue compatible with materials in conservation.
