Custom Leatherette Patch | Adhesive Backing

The Leatherette Patches are recommended for 100% cotton, 100% polyester, and cotton/polyester blends on light and dark colored garments. They are not recommended for surfaces that may contain an oil finish, such as silicone or any type of outdoor goods.

Since the product is applied with heat, it is not recommended for use on materials that may be heat sensitive (ex. some nylons, silk, some plastics, wool, fleece, beanie hats, etc.)

Manufacture Adhesive:

When applying a patch, set your press temperature to 270-285 degrees Fahrenheit, the timer to 10-15 seconds, and the pressure between 3 and 6 - medium pressure.  

Using a fresh adhesive, lint-roll the surface of your garment where you will be applying your patch to remove any lint.

Remove the protective paper backing and press firmly on the desired location of your garment.

Place parchment paper or a thin cloth between the patch and the press platen.

Press the patch between 270-285 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 seconds with medium pressure.

Please take into consideration temperatures will vary (between 270-285 degrees) depending on each individual press.  We suggest starting at a lower temperature and increasing, if needed, until you find the desired temperature to properly adhere the patch to your garment.  

For additional strength, some have used E6000 or super glue on the back of the patch and/or rivets or stitching along the edges.  These additions are optional, not required.

Hydbond Adhesive (Dual Heated Hat Press Settings):

When applying a patch, set your bottom platen temperature to 320 degrees Fahrenheit and the top platen temperature to 280 degrees Fahrenheit, the timer to 35 seconds, and the pressure between 3 and 6 - medium pressure.  

Using a fresh adhesive, lint-roll the surface of your garment where you will be applying your patch to remove any lint.

Remove the protective paper backing and press firmly on the desired location of your garment.

Place parchment paper or a thin cloth between the patch and the press platen.

Press the patch for 35 seconds with medium pressure.

Hybond Adhesive (Top Heated Only Hat Press Settings):

For users with a hat press that is only heated from the top, set your platen temperature to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, the timer to 25-35 seconds, and the pressure between 3 and 6 - medium pressure.  

Using a fresh adhesive, lint-roll the surface of your garment where you will be applying your patch to remove any lint.

Pre-press your garment for 30-35 seconds.  

Remove the protective paper backing and immediately press your patch firmly on the desired location of your garment after the pre-press. Apply enough pressure for the patch to stay in place while your garment is hot.

Place parchment paper or a thin cloth between the patch and the press platen.

Press the patch for 30-35 seconds with medium pressure.

Hydbond Adhesive:

Hand wash is always the recommended method - with soap and water, avoid scrubbing on the patch to preserve engravings.

However, when bonded properly, Hydbond is secure enough for a machine wash!

Machine wash on cold and allow to air dry.

Manufacture Adhesive:

Hand wash only with soap and water, avoid scrubbing on the patch to preserve engravings.
