Follow these simple steps when applying a Chief Upland Iron-On Fabric Repair Patch:
1) Clean damaged area (with a clean cloth and isopropyl alcohol if possible) and remove loose threads. Let dry completely to promote good adhesion.
2) If desired, cut the patch to size. Be sure to leave enough room to fully cover the torn area with a minimum of 1/2 inch of excess on all sides. 1 inch of excess on all sides is ideal. Please note the edges of these patches are lasercut, so they have nice clean edges...if you do cut the patches, try to round the corners again...sharp corners can peel more easily. Rounded corners should adhere better over time.
3) Peel off film from the back of the patch and place the patch on your garment. Be sure to apply the patch adhesive side down, fully covering the the torn area. (Note - the patch uses heat-activated adhesive)
4) Apply iron to patch on low heat setting (no water is needed, just heat) for a few seconds and repeat if necessary until the patch adheres well. If possible, keep moving the iron while you apply heat, as this will help prevent making iron marks on your gear (if you hold the iron in one place too long, it can leave an imprint). Irons can vary significantly, so if you feel like you need more heat to get it to stick well, then you can turn heat up to a medium level.
5) Once applied with iron, try to let the item sit for up to 24 hours to allow time for the adhesive to set more permanently. Please remember these are repair patches and the edges of the patches can still wear over time, but it's better than having a hole in your gear.
