FAQs
What types of fabrics can I use this patch on?
This patch is designed for acetate fabric, anoraks, skiwear, and quilted garments. It works best on impermeable and semi-impermeable synthetic fabrics.
Do I need to sew the patch on?
No, the patch is self-adhesive and does not require any sewing. It can be applied directly to the fabric.
Can I put the repaired garment in the washing machine?
Yes, you can wash the repaired garment by hand or in a machine on a delicate cycle. However, it is not dry-cleanable.
How long will the patch last?
The longevity of the patch depends on the fabric, wear, and washing method. It is designed for durable repairs on suitable fabrics when cared for properly.
Is this patch suitable for down jackets?
Yes, it is suitable for quilted garments, which often include down jackets, provided the outer fabric is compatible (e.g., nylon, polyester).
Can I use this on a tent or backpack?
While it adheres to impermeable fabrics, its primary design is for apparel. Performance on non-apparel items may vary. For best results, test on an inconspicuous area first.
What should I do if the patch doesn't stick well?
Ensure the fabric surface is clean and completely dry before applying. Press the patch firmly for at least 30 seconds. Avoid applying over seams or heavily textured areas if possible.
Troubleshooting
Patch not adhering well
Ensure the fabric is clean, dry, and free from lint or fabric softener residue. Press firmly on the patch for at least 30 seconds after application.
Patch peeling after washing
Verify that the garment was washed on a delicate cycle and not dry-cleaned. Ensure the patch was applied correctly to a suitable fabric type.
