I saw on a post once where they had use the Glad Press and Seal on the back of their ribbon. Wish I could remember the post....maybe could do a search. Hope this helps.

Dont use the super cheap ribbon, and attach the ribbon at the site while you are setting up. If you use cheap ribbon and attach it too early it will develop oily marks from the buttercream
Wow! The glad press n seal would be awesome. Too bad I could not find the post. I would think they would have put the sort of sticky side to the ribbon and then put on cake like that. Sounds even better than ironing, because I don't even have an iron! LOL!
Thanks ya'll.
I did a wedding cake a couple of weeks ago that was 4 tiers buttercream with ribbon around all the bottoms and trimmed in bc too. I covered all the ribbon with the clear adhesive that comes on a roll. I got it at Wal-Mart where the shelf paper is. I covered front and back and it turned out to be a good thing I did. Had my first (and I hope last) disaster. I actually had all the tiers put together and trimmed out and realized they were slowly sliding. My DH was with me (he is the best helper) and he almost had a heart attack. Anyway I had to take the whole thing apart and my DH had to recut my dowels. They weren't all the same size and they were shifting. He didn't have his pocked knife so he had to go across the street (in downtown Mobile) and borrow a knife from a group of men on the street.
Yikes. Kind of scary. So I had to remove all the ribbons and since it was covered front and back all I had to do was wipe down with a paper towel and it was ready to put back on. Got everything put back together with level dowels and a couple of center dowels that went all the way through. Be sure and take everything with you that you might possibly need when setting up on site. Hope this helps.
I just checked my ribbon supply .... most of mine are polyester. There are a couple of polyeurothenes in there, but it's been so long sinced I used those, I can't recall any problems. I don't iron, wax, coat (pluck, shave ... oh wait, I got sidetracked there!) the ribbon. Just wrap it on-site and attach at the back with a dot of icing.
