Can you iron over painters tape?
There are wonderful suggestions and tips to be found on this board for using painter's tape when quilting!
However, while reading them it made me wonder what would happen if one ironed over the tape while it is on the fabric. Has anyone had this happen?

Hi and welcome - Honestly, I wouldn't risk it - I'm sure it's got some plastic-like materials that could melt...plus the adhesive on the other side would probably adhere permanently to your fabric, making it really difficult to remove. What are you trying to adhere? Maybe there's another product that would work better we could suggest?

As already said, I too am concerned about what might happen if the two meet up!
I use Painter's Tape regularly, but try to NOT iron it.
That said, sometimes it happens. Accidentally!
So far, no problems ... but the time and amount of tape pressed is minimal.
You could always do your own test and see what happens.
