FAQs
What materials is this repair sheet suitable for?
This repair sheet is primarily designed for light fabrics. It's best to test on an inconspicuous area first if you are unsure about compatibility with your specific fabric.
How large is the repair sheet?
The sheet measures 12cm in width and 45cm in depth (length).
Can I wash the repaired area?
Yes, the repaired area is washable up to a maximum temperature of 40°C.
What is the best way to apply the repair sheet?
Cut the sheet to size, place it on the inside of the fabric over the damage, and apply with a hot iron according to specific instructions for polyester and your fabric type, ensuring firm pressure.
Can this be used on dark fabrics?
While the sheet is black, it's described as being for 'light fabrics'. It may work on some darker, lighter-weight materials, but always test first. The black color is best suited for matching black items.
How long will the repair last?
The polyester material is designed for durability, and the bond should last through regular wear and washing, provided it is applied correctly and cared for according to instructions.
Troubleshooting
Repair sheet not adhering properly.
Ensure the iron is at the correct temperature and pressure is applied firmly. Check that the fabric is clean and dry. Allow the sheet to cool completely before testing the bond.
Fabric is scorching or melting.
Reduce the iron temperature and ironing time. Ensure the fabric is suitable for ironing at the required heat. Test on a scrap piece first.
Repair is stiff or creates an uncomfortable patch.
Use a smaller piece of the repair sheet or ensure it is placed on the inside of the garment. For very thin fabrics, consider a lighter application.
Color transfer to iron.
Ensure the correct side of the repair sheet is against the fabric and that the iron is not excessively hot. Clean the iron soleplate immediately after use if residue appears.
