How to use Vaatelaastari Patch?
- Gradually remove the fabric from the backing paper, avoiding touching the adhesive surface.
- Attach the exposed adhesive surface to the garment and gently pull out the backing paper while pressing on the Vaatelaastari.
- Attach the Vaatelaastari Patch by rubbing, preferably against a hard surface, for at least one minute. You can use a blunt object such as a spoon. Pay special attention to the edges.
- Your textile patched with Vaatelaastari Patch is ready for use immediately!
- If properly applied, the Vaatelaastari Patch will withstand washing on many types of textiles. However, allow at least three days before the first wash so that the adhesive will have time to stick in place. The longer you wait before the first wash and between washings, the more firmly Vaatelaastari will adhere.
- You can wash the garments at 30 degrees.
- Do not dry clean or use detergents containing fabric softeners or vinegar.
- Be sure to match the washing instructions of the Vaatelaastari and your garment!
