My patch won't stay on no matter what I do. I've tried ironing and super glue. Is there something specific I should do when ironing it?

I sewed it on. But, there is a pretty good adhesive sheet that you can get called Badge Magic, you can try. I have used it for my daughters scout badges. But after several months, there are a few edges that are detaching, so I am going to sew those on. Hope this is helful.

Hi there. I had the same problem too. Until I discovered that if you stand with the iron rest end of the ironing board in front of you. Place your feet on the ends of the legs. And very easily slide/pull the iron rest toward you. Yes. That's it. Then when you're done just push it back closer to the board. I just love this ironing board. And yes. The covers are thin but I put a piece of that polyester batting (cut to shape) under the cover to plump it up a little bit. And I use snug straps/sheet tighteners to make the cover lay nice + flat + tight. They're available on Amazon. Have a good week! Hi there. I had the same problem too.

I recently bought this iron and after several hours of usage, the clean message came on. I followed the instructions, but the clean message would not go out. What's up?

My experience has been that the patch begins to fall off after 5-6 days (maximum recommended time to have on is 7 days). I wash the patch area like any other, and perhaps this is a factor. Occasionally it has sort of crumpled up and fallen off in the shower - careful, what a horrorshow if it went down the drain and provided some nice and unusual work for a plumber, but then again it crumples to a not too large, not too sticky piece. I have not specifically tried the method you suggest since I feel that I should leave it on for the 7 days, assuming one of the above doesn't occur, but I'd guess that like most other rubbery cements that heat makes it somewhat less effective, so I'd think your method has some chance of success. Assuming it stays on for 7 days I just lift up a corner and begin to peel off, moving the fingers continually inward into the patch to lift it up - I find it less comfortable if one lifts the corner and then continues to pull from the corner. Of course all the above advice is given without knowing details of your disease or skin condition so can be nothing but a general comment about what works for me. My situation was relatively minor but still a terrific product which cured my condition for $3.75 (3 pads) vs. hundreds for the dermatologist had I not been insured.

I put a cloth over the tip then went back and forth on the tip. It came off after a few minutes of work.

I used a mixture of baking soda and water then ran the cleaning cycle. I used an old cloth to pick up some of the baking soda and water paste then scrubbed the face of the iron while it was still a little warm. Worked like a charm. :)

i'm guessing you're using a above mild type sponge/cloth. try using a softer/finishing sponge, spread it thin and even. since you're are using hand, apply the whole body and let it dry for quite sometime. buffing off the m26 shouldn't require an elbow grease. buff it off with a microfiber cloth. good luck

If iron doesn't stuck, try fabric glue. I used fabric glue on the felt monkey heads I put on the ones I bought & they are still attached after 2 years. I put a piece of cardboard between the 2 sides.

The patches are a mixture of burnt lint and mineral deposits. C.L.R. is available at major retailers and can help. Put the liquid on a paper towel the size of the sole plate and let it soak for about 20 minutes. Then scrape it off with the edge of an old credit card. Repeat until done.If your iron has gotten to this point, consider replacing it with one that has a cleaning mode for removing old lint before it builds up and burns. Also, stop using tap water and use distilled instead. I recommend the Black and Decker D2030.Also look for a "dripless" iron, which won't throw out drops of water which tend to concentrate the brown in spots. You want steam, not hot water on your clothes :) The patches are a mixture of burnt lint and mineral deposits. C.L.R. is available at major retailers and can help.

Purchase a tube of Faultless brank "Hot Iron Cleaner." Follow instructions and this should help.

I've removed mine a couple times when I was first placing it on. Just spray the solution on again. Try to find a clean area when you're placing it on.

Maybe it's just me, but I've never had a tanning lotion that came off in patches. Mine always fade, or more likely washed off, unevenly. I've probably then not applied it evenly.

You shouldn't because the patch may come off, then you would have to immediately replace it. This will make you have to double the amount you purchase. You can apply the patch after you swim or shower safely and worry less about it becoming dislodged or loosened. RN

I caught mine in time to peel it off. Maybe reheat it and try to get it off. Good Luck.

I have the same problem. After reading the previous answer, I will try his suggestion. Mostly I use it for quilting so do more up and down motion on seams rather than a lot of actual ironing.

Mine did the same thing. You must have taken the protective cloth tape cover off the strip?....just as I had. The instructions didn't have anything to say about this cover so I took it off......BUT!!.....it's supposed to stay on. My strip got so bad that I had to order a replacement bar. Since I have replaced the bar, I use a strip of parchment paper folded over the strip so the heat comes through and nothing sticks to the strip. Good luck.

I used to be a Girl Scout troop leader. I've tried everything, and honestly sewing is the only thing that lasts. Patches are too thick for any sort of fabric glue to work.
