505 adhisive spray
I am ready to use 505 for the first time, have read and followed instructions. my question is do I iron my sandwich? Instructions do not say to do so, but I could swear I saw a tutorial on it that said to iron it to set it. Of course now I can't find the tutorial! If I iron it do I use dry or steam? Thank you for your help.

no, just spray one side, smooth your fabric over the batting, flip it over, spray the other side- and smooth the fabric over that side- some people pin around the edges to keep everything secure *especially if it's a large quilt*

You do not need to iron it. I never ironed when I used 505. However, some people like to iron the quilt sandwich to make it flatter and therefore easier to quilt, no matter what basting spray they use. I don't believe ironing affects the 505 in any way. If you are uncertain whether or not you want to iron, I would suggest making up a test sandwich to see if ironing affects ability to reposition, etc.
