In my opion, you will need a heat press. A Heat press will help to ensure even heat and pressure. This will allow the best adhesion of the foil.

Have a great day.

I tried the iron (just for the fun of it) and could not control the pressure. The foil did not stick very well. Constant pressure is the key. You will neeed the press, try ebay.
