Use sharp scissors to cut the patch to the desired shape and size, ensuring it is slightly larger than the tear or hole you need to cover.
No, the patch is self-adhesive and applying heat from an iron can damage the adhesive and the fabric. Do not iron.
It works well on acetate fabric, anoraks, skiwear, quilted garments, and other impermeable fabrics.
The patch is designed for impermeable fabrics and can withstand washing, making it resistant to water penetration for everyday use and suitable for outerwear.
The durability depends on the fabric, application, and washing method. When applied correctly and cared for according to instructions (hand wash or delicate cycle), the repair should be long-lasting for normal wear.
While it may adhere to cotton, it is specifically designed for impermeable synthetic fabrics like those found in outerwear. Performance on natural fibers may vary.
For larger areas, you can carefully overlap and apply multiple patches, ensuring each is pressed down firmly. However, extensive layering might affect flexibility.
Ensure the fabric surface is clean, dry, and free of lint or oils. Press firmly on the patch after application, especially around the edges. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure before heavy use or washing.
Verify that the garment was washed on a delicate cycle with cold water and that dry-cleaning was avoided. Ensure the patch was applied to a clean surface initially and pressed firmly.
This is normal for some synthetic fabrics. For maximum flexibility, try to use the smallest patch size necessary to cover the tear. Gentle stretching of the fabric around the patch may help over time.
Setup: Ensure the fabric area around the tear is clean and dry before application. Cut the self-adhesive patch to a size slightly larger than the tear. Peel off the protective backing and carefully apply the patch over the damaged area, pressing down firmly from the center outwards to ensure good adhesion.
Compatibility: This repair fabric is compatible with acetate fabric, anoraks, skiwear, and other impermeable garments. It adheres best to smooth, clean surfaces. Test on an inconspicuous area if unsure about fabric compatibility.
Care: Patches can be washed by hand or in a machine on a delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. The product is not dry-cleanable, as dry-cleaning solvents can degrade the adhesive.
