Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup (Iron-On Application):
- Prepare the fabric: Ensure the area to be patched is clean, dry, and free from wrinkles. Pre-wash garments if necessary and allow them to dry completely.
- Set iron temperature: Set your household iron to a medium-high heat setting (cotton or linen), ensuring the steam function is OFF.
- Position the patch: Place the patch adhesive-side down onto the desired location on the fabric.
- Apply pressure: Place a pressing cloth (like a thin piece of cotton fabric) over the patch. Press down firmly with the hot iron for 15-20 seconds. Ensure even pressure is applied across the entire patch.
- Allow to cool: Let the patch cool completely before testing the adhesion.
- Optional reinforcement: For extra durability, iron the patch again from the reverse side of the fabric for another 10-15 seconds.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for most common fabrics like cotton, denim, twill, and blends.
- *Not recommended* for use on delicate fabrics such as silk, nylon, leather, or synthetic materials that may melt or be damaged by heat (e.g., rayon, acetate, waterproof coatings).
Care:
- Allow 24-48 hours after application before washing.
- Turn the garment inside out before washing.
- Wash in cool or warm water on a gentle cycle.
- Tumble dry on low heat or air dry for best results.
- Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents.
- If the patch begins to lift after washing, reapply heat following the setup instructions.
