Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Prepare the Garment: Ensure the area around the tear or hole is clean and dry. If applying from the inside, turn the garment inside out. If applying from the outside, position the patch over the damaged area.
- Preheat Iron: Set a household iron to a cotton setting (no steam) and allow it to heat up.
- Apply Heat: Place a piece of parchment paper or a thin cloth over the patch (if applying from the outside) or directly on the patch (if applying from the inside).
- Press and Hold: Press the hot iron firmly onto the patch for 30 seconds, applying even pressure. For larger areas, move the iron slowly over the patch to ensure full adhesion.
- Cool Down: Allow the patch to cool completely before touching or moving the garment.
Compatibility:
These patches are designed for denim and similar heavy cotton fabrics. They are suitable for jeans, work pants, denim jackets, and other denim garments. While they can be used on other fabrics, test on an inconspicuous area first, as high heat may damage delicate materials.
Care:
After proper application, the patches are wash-proof. It is recommended to wash the repaired garment in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry for best results.
