Is there anything you can paint on an iron soleplate that's glide-able and survives heat??

[flatironbuildin]

I have an iron that is perfectly fine except someone (not me!) has caught the edge of it repeatedly on the iron stand - so there is a tiny patch on the sole plate/side of the soleplate where the ceramic has worn off and it catches on material from time to time.

When I say tiny - I mean tiny - it's not even a millimeter wide. If you imagine bashing the edge of something painted on a metal edge - so that you get a slight slight loss of paint - that's what it looks like.

It's really irritating that it catches when ironing - I think it's the side edge rather than the base when moving over material that isn't totally flat.

I don't really want to replace a whole iron and send it to land fill/recycling when it is working fine.

It there anything I can paint on to cover this tiny chip/scratch part that will stop it catching and make it glide-y? Any ideas?

You can buy non stick iron shoes. Maybe worth a try?

Sorry - what do you mean?

What are non-stick iron shoes? Where do you get them?

This is one example. Cheaper versions are available on amazon or the like. Look up iron shoe or iron sole.

@PickAChew
thanks - I will have a look. I never knew such a thing existed!

Trouble is it is just a tiny spot. I am still wondering if there is somehting that I can paint on it just to cover the 'rough' bit that will stop it catching but is heat proof.
Heat proof nail varnish type thing!
