I can not get this vinyl to stick. I have been at this for an hour, at this point the plastic is warping but vinyl refuses to stick. This is a canvas tote that my grandma gave me( it is probably 20 years old). I’m using a regular iron on the hottest setting, pressing down for 30sec-1min.

I got this silver sword as a very small cutting last year, and since then it’s gotten much taller and thicker. Should I cut the top half and root it to start over, since the top is so much thicker than the bottom? Thanks!
