I also ordered the 70d fabric from extremtextil. I prefer Matt’s fabric but I wanted something around 5oz to make an inflatable seat. I agree that the nylon 66 is much better with it’s higher melting point. However I was able to work with this fabric and made a seat. With my Clover 2 iron on med setting I couldn’t get a seal. And on high I melted the fabric. To get something in between, I used a strip of masking tape over aluminum foil between the iron and fabric to create a kind of temperature buffer. This worked fine and I was able to get good seal, but I did have to go over the seams a few times. I can sit on the seat and it holds air.
