Hi
I am not convinced I am getting you right on your text above.
quote" Use the iron's EDGE (NOT it's surface) " unquote

do you  mean to use the iron lateral or front sharp edge.
On top of being a sharp edge, it is curved, so a small portion of it
will make some pressure over the paper.
is that a correct understanding of your procedure???
