Troubleshooting

Patch is not sticking properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Use rubbing alcohol to remove any residue. Apply firm pressure when smoothing out the patch to ensure good adhesion. If the patch still does not stick properly, try applying heat, like a hairdryer, to the patch after application. Be careful not to overheat the material.

Patch is peeling at the edges.

Make sure the edges of the patch are well-adhered. Use a rounded tool (like the end of a pen) to firmly press down the edges. If necessary, apply a small amount of heat using a hairdryer to help bond the edges.
