Why won’t my patch stick?
This usually happens when:
• the iron wasn’t hot enough
• not enough pressure was applied
• the surface was too soft (like an ironing board)
For best results, iron on a hard surface like a countertop.
Can I use an ironing board?
A firm surface works best. Ironing boards can be too soft and may prevent the adhesive from bonding properly.
How long should I iron the patch?
Press firmly with a hot iron for 10-20 seconds, moving slowly across the entire patch so every area receives heat.
Can the patch be washed?
Yes. Once applied, the patch is permanent and washable.
Wash on a gentle cycle if needed. Lay flat to dry.
What if my patch starts lifting?
Simply place the parchment paper over the patch and iron again for 10-20 seconds, focusing on the edges.
Where should the patch go inside the tie?
Most customers place the patch inside the wide end of the tie near the tip so it remains hidden while worn.
