I have a half inch tear on a thin wrinkle free dress shirt on my elbow. Would the patch repair it or would the iron damage the shirt from burning it?

It depends on how thin the material is. Try using a thin wet towel over the patch when applying it.

You will have to make sure your iron stay below 150 C (302 F), or you could damage the Mylar. Note that the minimum steam setting of your iron is 100 C, so if you can use that temperature for your adhesive, you should be fine. Otherwise you will have to figure out a way of measuring the temperature of the iron, or just trying it on a test piece. A simpler thing to do would be to buy metalized buble wrap. A variety that I have used called Reflectrix Insulation model BP48050 has an R value that ranges from 7 to 3, depending on how you use it. It's pretty inexpensive and will save you a lot of time.

I have cut the material and gave some thought to fraying before making the cut also. I had an old iron that I had warmed(not hot or you'll melt the fabric) standing by. After making the cut, I ran the warm iron over the cut line to soften the cut area and fuse any frayed ends together. You can also create a hem at your cutline-folding the cutline and frayed ends under. I used a hot glue gun(low setting not high) to bond the hem closed. Heat is your friend-just don't get carried away or you'll melt things rather than soften and join. If you are going to have some extra, just cut off a small piece and experiment.

I have not send any shine on my fabrics from this iron. I use it on the highest setting because most of my ironing is on cotton fabric for quilting. One or two passes over the fabric is all that is required so remove the most stubborn wrinkles!!

Leave it on! You will have a big mess if you try and take it off. If it does rip or tear I have used bandaid clear bandages to repair the tear.

It has small fabric patches to put behind a tear but not a patch that large. This kit is designed for small tears and cuts not larger areas.

I think an iron might melt the material. Maybe a steamer would work. I personally didn't see the wrinkles while watching a movie.

I'm not sure if the heat from the iron will damage the module. I would contact the manufacturer's tech. dept. first.

Yes, Pull the patch off a little more, Be Very carful with this Aleene's glue it is Very Runny. Squeeze out just enough, Once you glue right up to the Edge of the Patch Press firmly, It's better to put something Heavy on it. BEFORE it is Totally Dry, say about 15 minutes take some duck tape and dab at any excess that has escaped from the edge of the patch. then put your weight back and let it dry, a good 8 - 12 hours.

You could sew it - ironing on to leather is not a good idea- unlikely to last and will leave damage

The repair kit comes with a roll of vinyl patch so you should have plenty of material to fix the tear.

You could definitely sew patches onto the backpack - you'd need a good heavy needle though. Unsure about ironing them on though.

You may be able to get an upholstery needle and heavy duty thread like buttonhole thread and sew it back together if it hasn't gotten to far. If not that, try a tailor shop or alteration shop to see if they will mend it for you.

I would baste it on. The adhesive spray may effect your embroidery. It is not an iron on product.

I was able to cut the patch to a desired size and shape and then remove backing before applying it. The adhesive was super strong and the tape was not at all stiff once the backing was removed. Once removing the backing you need to handle it very carefully as it's it's extremely floppy. It can fold over and stick to itself. You wouldn't want it to be any different. Such characteristics are what make for a truly great repair.

I found that the iron was not hot enough. I did not use steam, but clothing was not hot to the touch the second after ironing that spot like they were on my old iron. I don't want to have to go over the same spot more than once or twice to iron a wrinkle out. I found that was what I had to do.
