Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup (Iron-On Application):
- Prepare the Fabric: Ensure the garment area where the patch will be applied is clean and dry. Pre-wash the garment if possible.
- Preheat Iron: Set your iron to a medium-high heat setting, typically suitable for cotton. Avoid using steam.
- Position Patch: Place the patch onto the desired location on the fabric, ensuring the adhesive side is down.
- Iron: Place a pressing cloth (like a thin cotton fabric) over the patch. Press the iron firmly onto the patch for 15-20 seconds. Ensure even pressure is applied across the entire patch.
- Cool Down: Allow the patch to cool completely before testing its adhesion. Gently try to lift a corner; if it peels, repeat the ironing process.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for most common fabrics like cotton, denim, polyester blends, and fleece.
- Not recommended for use on waterproof materials, highly textured fabrics, or synthetics that cannot withstand medium-high heat.
Care:
- Machine Wash: Wash garments with applied patches inside out in cold or lukewarm water (up to 30°C). Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry for best results.
- Dry Cleaning: Patches can also be dry cleaned.
- Ironing after Washing: If needed, iron the garment on a low setting, avoiding direct heat on the patch itself.
