Greater than one weekI just applied mine directly to a 5 X 2 particle board. I ran into all the issues everyone warned about but took extra care - and it worked. - The backing does want to tear into strips, but be careful and after a few inches, you will get it peeling in one piece across the entire short edge. I ironed the piece (on the fabric side) first in order to get out the more serious wrinkles from being folded in the packaging. This heat may have helped loosen the glue a bit so I was able to recover from the tearing of the backing that occurred initially. - The glue and very thin foam backing DOES want to stick to itself AND especially to your fingers. If it sticks to your fingers, it seems to pull the foam away from the fabric and sticks to your fingers instead. Solution: once you have enough of the backing removed, tear off a couple of pieces of that backing and use it between your fingers and the sticky side to hold it down as you peel away more backing. - I peeled away five or six inches all across, pressed it down to my board, held the new stuck edge in place (with a couple of pieces of the torn backing) while I peeled away the next five or six inches. Repeat. Doing just a few inches at a time resulted in great success. I did rush one section and got a minor section where the fabric folded and stick to itself, so be patient. Glue on fingers and scissors comes off easily with a little alcohol. I now have an ironing board wide enough to press full width bolts of fabric. I didnt add any additional batting because I like a firm surface.

> 3 dayYep, it’s a bit of a project to install but patience and carefully reading instructions made it a success. I just love the way it works- no bunching up and high heat transfer makes ironing long pieces of fabric a breeze. Highly recommend!!

> 3 dayMy hubby made me a larger quilters rectangular ironing board and had difficulty positioning this stuff onto the surface. After a while he gave up and just stapled it down instead of fussing with the adhesive. He has plenty of experience building things but this one stumped him. And I dont like it because when I press my quilt blocks, the fabric tends to stick to this ironing board cover. I need to actually peel my fabric off the ironing board, and stray threads catch and unravel. Ive had this happen before with lower quality ironing board covers but didnt expect to have a problem with this cover as it had gotten good reviews. I guess well keep looking.

> 3 dayThis is my third cover and I will buy another when I need to replace it. My first one lasted more then five or six years. I am making a bigger quilters ironing board for current ironing board and am using this as the cover. It is very sticky so make sure you know exactly where you want it to go.

> 3 dayI am so disappointed in the package of Bo-Nash I received yesterday. It is like its been stored somewhere forever. When I tried to take off the backing the sticky foam came off in big chunks or stuck to the backing. Its like its old or something. Ive tried every corner with the same results. Not sure if this is the fault of the vendor or the manufacturer. Live & learn I guess; from now on Ill only buy the product when I can see what Im buying.

> 3 dayThe principle of this is good. The execution is not. The paper does not pull off the back well -- particularly where the cover has folds. The corners are impossible to miter as stated in the directions.

Greater than one weekGoes on easy. Makes ironing much easier because of the easy glide. Great with sewing projects!

> 3 dayI absolutely love this cover!!! I have a wide ironing board that I use constantly for ironing my quilt pieces as i am sewing them together. I have been through a couple of ironing board covers, and after washing them, they never fit right again. Due to the shifting every time I ironed, I was always tugging the cover back into place. I loved the idea of this cover, but was a bit concerned with some of the reviews, so I checked youtube for any helpful videos. I learned that it was just as easy to apply this cover as to use Contact paper, which Ive done many times. I ordered the cover, reviewed the instructions that came with it and once again watched the video. It was quick and easy and I did it in minutes! I am so glad I ordered this cover and cant see myself every using anything else.
