How to apply hot melt patches

The procedure is quite simple. Check out what you'll need:

:: 1 mask or another piece of fabric of your choice;
:: 1 breastplate embroidered hot-melt patch ;
:: 1 piece of cotton cloth (we send it along with the mask);
:: 1 clothes iron (do not use steam);
:: 1 piece of cardboard.

Step by step

1. Choose a table or other flat surface to support the materials. Avoid varnished tables. Heat can damage the worktop.

2. Warm up the iron. If your iron is steam, remove all water before the procedure. Moisture impairs patch fixation.

3. Stretch the fabric area to be patched .

4. Place the piece of cardboard under the fabric surface.

5. Adjust the patch in the stretched fabric area.

6. On top of the patch, place the cotton fabric. It will prevent the heat from the iron from burning the patch .

7. Iron the cotton fabric on top of the patch with a hot iron, applying pressure for about two minutes*. Do not leave the iron in the same position to avoid burning.

8. Guarantee the tips! Reinforcement in the corners of the patch .

9. Repeat the process on the opposite side of the mask.

Extra tip : reinforce the patch by making a small dot in each corner of the patch with a needle and black thread. *The time varies according to the surface.

Use and care guidelines

:: After bonding, wait at least 24 hours to use or wash it;
:: Do not soak the patched fabric;
:: Wash your hands;
:: Dry in the shade.
