FAQs

What types of fabric can these patches be used on?

These patches are best suited for impermeable fabrics like acetate, anoraks, skiwear, and quilted garments.

Can I use these patches on clothing that needs to be dry-cleaned?

No, these patches are not suitable for dry cleaning as the process can damage the adhesive.

How do I apply the repair patch?

Clean and dry the area around the tear, cut the patch to size if needed, peel off the backing, and press firmly onto the fabric.

Can these patches be sewn over?

While not necessary, the patches are generally thin enough that some sewing machines might pass over them. However, it's not recommended as it could damage the needle or the patch.

Are the patches waterproof?

The patches are designed for impermeable fabrics and are water-resistant, making them suitable for garments exposed to moisture. However, they are not a substitute for a full waterproof seal on a garment.

What is the expected lifespan of a patch?

With proper care and washing on delicate cycles, the patches should provide a durable repair for the lifespan of the garment, though extreme wear and tear may reduce this.

Troubleshooting

Patch not adhering well

Ensure the fabric surface is completely clean, dry, and free of any residues or coatings. Press firmly for at least 30 seconds to activate the adhesive.

Patch peeling after washing

Confirm that the garment was washed on a delicate cycle and air-dried or tumble-dried on low heat. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners.

Small bubbles under the patch

Try to smooth these out during application. If they appear after application, gentle re-pressing might help, but significant bubbles could affect long-term adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the fabric area around the tear is clean and dry before application. Cut the patch to size if necessary, ensuring it overlaps the torn area adequately. Peel off the backing and firmly press the patch onto the fabric, smoothing out any air bubbles.

Compatibility: The Marbet MB123.025 patches are specifically designed for impermeable fabrics such as acetate, anoraks, skiwear, and quilted garments. They may not adhere effectively to natural fibers, heavily textured materials, or fabrics that are not water-resistant.

Care: Repaired items can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a delicate cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Do not dry clean the repaired garments, as the heat and chemicals can damage the adhesive.
