If you use the IR thermometer to measure the temp of the surface of the iron it will read low by as much as 70%. this is because the Shiny surface of the iron does not radiate heat at the same rate as a darker surface that the thermometer is set for. To get an accurate measurement, stick a piece of scotch 33 electrical tape on the face of the iron and measure the electrical tape. The heat will penetrate the tape almost instantly and the radiant properties of the tape will match the IR sensor calibration.

Spray on antipersperant will work on the iron also. For the most part IR equipment was built to lie to us. I do some IR photography for my work. I also got very good results with a candy thermometer. I used white heat sink compound, (a lot) around the bulb. Made sure the bulb was in contact with the iron. I sat all this on several dishtowls to insulate it. When I covered I used 5 irons. Size, shape ect. It was a little time consuming but worth it. Never had problems. Yes covering will colapse structures. Buddy folded his wing on his Challenger.
