Application guide

Opt for heat-resistant fabrics, such as cotton or linen.
Avoid delicate or heat-sensitive materials, such as silk, wool, cashmere, synthetics or leather. Test an inconspicuous area of your garment beforehand to check how it reacts to a hot iron.
Set your iron to its maximum heat setting. A newer model will perform better than an older one. Avoid using a steam iron (steamer).
Preheat the fabric before positioning the patch. Cover it with a cotton cloth to protect it.
Press the hot iron firmly onto the patch for about 15 seconds, until the glue fuses. Allow to cool slightly, then test adhesion by gently lifting one edge of the patch with your fingernail. If necessary, repeat the operation, applying strong pressure with the iron.
Turn the garment inside out and press the iron to the back of the fabric again to reinforce the bond.
Let stand for 72 hours to ensure the bond is fully effective.
