How can I apply heat to iron-on veneer when there's no room for an iron?

It's not accessible with even a small iron. How about a hair dryer?

Hot air gun might be better. I have a soldering iron with a cranked bit which might be another candidate, depending on the geometry. Maybe you are going to have to make a tool.

No. You need to apply heat and pressure. Make up a flat metal tool that will fit in and heat that - not too hot and press into place.

I have done it with a heat gun and a piece of wood to press it down. Just do not set it on paint stripping temp.

Most iron on veneer needs the pressure so hair driers heat guns etc have to be out. A fairly large iron with a bit replaced with a tool strong enough to press it without bending. I suppose one could not attache it before one fits the actual piece to whatever you are making , could it? Brian
