FAQs

Can I reposition the fabric oval after applying it?

No, once applied with firm pressure, the Velcro Brand STICKY BACK For Fabric Ovals creates a permanent bond and is not designed to be repositioned.

How long does the adhesive bond last?

The permanent fabric adhesive is designed to withstand laundering and regular use, providing a long-lasting bond under normal conditions.

Is this product safe for all types of fabric?

It is safe for most common fabrics. However, it is not recommended for delicate materials like silk or very sheer fabrics, and testing on an inconspicuous area is advised if unsure.

Can I use this on non-fabric materials like plastic or wood?

No, this product is specifically formulated for fabric adhesion and will not provide a reliable or permanent bond on plastic, wood, metal, or other non-fabric surfaces.

How soon can I wash an item after applying the fabric ovals?

It is recommended to allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours after application before washing the item.

What is the difference between this and regular Velcro tape?

This product is a permanent fabric adhesive designed to bond two fabric surfaces together permanently. Regular Velcro tape typically uses hook and loop fasteners that can be opened and closed repeatedly, often requiring sewing or a different type of adhesive for attachment.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not sticking firmly

Ensure fabric is completely clean and dry before application. Apply firm, even pressure for the recommended 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours for curing before testing strength or washing.

Adhesive peeling after washing

Check that the fabric was properly prepped and that full pressure was applied during initial application. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the adhesive. Ensure the item has been allowed to cure for a full 24 hours before its first wash.

Difficulty removing excess adhesive

Since this is a permanent adhesive, it is difficult to remove once bonded. For minor residue on non-fabric surfaces, try gently scraping with a plastic card. For fabric, reapplication of heat (e.g., hairdryer on low) and careful peeling might help, but damage to the fabric is possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the fabric surface is clean, dry, and free of lint, oils, or fabric softeners. For best results, iron fabrics beforehand to remove wrinkles.
  2. Peel the protective backing from one side of the fabric oval.
  3. Carefully align the oval onto the first fabric piece and press firmly for at least 30 seconds, ensuring even pressure across the entire surface.
  4. Peel the backing from the other side of the oval.
  5. Align and press the second fabric piece onto the adhesive, again applying firm pressure for at least 30 seconds.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for use with most common fabrics (cotton, polyester, blends).
  • Not recommended for use on delicate silks, leather, plastic, metal, or other non-fabric surfaces.
  • Test on an inconspicuous area of the fabric if unsure about compatibility or potential staining.

Care:

  • Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before washing.
  • Machine wash warm or cold on a gentle cycle, or hand wash.
  • Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
  • Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners during laundering, as these may weaken the bond.
