I was ironing fusible webbing onto faux suade. I don't know what caused the gunk--but my brand new smooth as silk iron has black stuff on the bottom--esp at the point. What happened? How do I get it off? A damp paper towel isn't working. :|

My best guess is you got some of the fusible on it. There is some iron cleaner you can get (don't remember the name of it) especially for this, or when it is cool use Goo-Gone, then clean really well to take the oily residue off.

Cut open a brown paper grocery bag and lay it inside out on your ironing board, turn the iron to hot, no steam, when it gets hot iron the bag until the iron is clean. 8-)
