Serious question, has anyone else tried using a hair straightener to press book cloth?

I was in a real bind yesterday with a custom order due today and my regular press was acting up, so I grabbed my wife's flat iron from the bathroom. The results were actually pretty good for the small piece I needed, but the smell of hot hair product mixed with book glue is something I can't forget. What's the weirdest tool you've had to use in a pinch?

A clothes iron works in a pinch too.
