FAQs
What type of fabrics is this repair sheet best for?
This repair sheet is best suited for medium-weight cotton and cotton-blend fabrics. It is not recommended for very thin, synthetics, or heavily textured materials.
Can I use this repair on delicates?
Due to the heat and pressure required for application, this repair sheet is not recommended for delicate fabrics that cannot withstand ironing.
How do I clean a garment with this repair applied?
You can wash the repaired item as usual, but it is recommended to turn it inside out, use a gentle cycle, and air dry if possible to ensure the longevity of the repair.
How long does the repair typically last?
With proper application and care, the repair is designed to be durable and long-lasting, typically lasting for the lifetime of the garment under normal wear and washing conditions.
Can I iron directly onto the repair sheet?
Yes, you iron directly onto the repair sheet, pressing firmly for about 10-15 seconds. Ensure your iron is set to a cotton setting and that steam is turned off.
What is the size of the repair sheet?
The repair sheet measures 12 x 45 cm.
Can I cut the repair sheet into smaller pieces?
Yes, you can cut the repair sheet to any size needed for your specific repair. It's advisable to cut it slightly larger than the damaged area.
Troubleshooting
Patch is not sticking securely
Ensure the iron was hot enough and applied with sufficient pressure for the recommended time. Check that the fabric was clean and dry before application. Try ironing again, applying more pressure and heat if the fabric allows.
Fabric is burning or melting
The iron temperature is too high for the fabric or the repair sheet. Reduce the iron temperature and test on a scrap piece of fabric and repair sheet. Ensure steam is turned off.
Patch is wrinkling or bubbling
This can happen if the iron was moved too much during application or if the fabric is too thin. Ensure the iron is pressed down firmly and not moved around excessively. For very thin fabrics, consider using a pressing cloth.
Repair is visible and bulky
Ensure the patch was cut to an appropriate size, only slightly larger than the damage. For a less visible repair, consider applying from the inside of the garment. A different color may also help blend the repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the fabric to be repaired is clean and dry. Cut the repair sheet to the desired size, making it slightly larger than the damaged area. Place the fabric on a firm, heat-resistant surface. Position the repair sheet with the adhesive side down onto the fabric.
Ironing: Preheat your iron to a setting suitable for cotton (usually around 150°C or 300°F). Remove any steam function. Press the iron firmly onto the repair sheet for approximately 10-15 seconds, ensuring even pressure across the entire patch. Allow the area to cool completely before handling.
Compatibility: This repair sheet is specifically designed for medium-weight cotton and cotton-blend fabrics. It may not adhere effectively to very thin, silky, synthetic, or heavily textured materials. Always test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.
Care: Once applied, the repaired item can be washed as usual according to the fabric's care instructions. It is recommended to wash repaired items inside out in a gentle cycle and air dry when possible to prolong the life of the repair.
