hello this is the patch guy from the chief place comm today we're gonna show you how to iron on a patch iron on a patch we're gonna need something time not so I have a denim material pair of pants over here you're gonna need a good quality patch with iron on back and on the back it can't just be plastic back in it actually has to have iron-on glue applied on the back of them all our patches here a tie remonstrating that we sell at the cheap place I'll come come with plastic iron-on vacuum and the iron-on glue is a Japanese man glue and it works the first time you iron it on you just gotta watch out for some of the sex we are going to go ahead and need a frying pan thermometer a meat thermometer will not do as the temperature won't measure up to the required 270 degrees Fahrenheit if you look on the back of a thermometer on this case it tells you that it measures from minus 40 302 degrees Fahrenheit so this should be good enough thermometer use it was only $9.99 at Target and the other essential item is a regular household iron just go ahead and make sure the steam setting is off and we're gonna go ahead and pedal around with what right setting to use over here and we'll bring it to its minimum setting for now and I will show you how to get it up to the correct temperature so iron on the patch properly I have a heart table which I played a couple of t-shirts on top of and I put my garment here and this is where I'm going to go ahead and iron on the patch you don't want to do it directly over a hard surface but a couple of t-shirts underneath it that way when you're applying pressure with the iron it spreads out more evenly what I'm gonna do is set up my thermometer frying-pan thermometer like this put the iron on crank it to its high setting until my thermometer reads 270 degrees Fahrenheit as soon as it goes over 270 degrees Fahrenheit I'm gonna go ahead and bring this down to off and then you'll wait till this thing starts to climb up and then it will stop climbing and it will start to decline at a slow rate once it hits 280 degrees Fahrenheit go ahead and move the iron away place your patch where you want it and then go ahead and press it on again do not lift the iron on as that will let it dissipate heat very quickly you want to stay within 260 to 280 degrees Fahrenheit when you're pressing on the patch stand up and push don't be sitting down you will not be able to get enough pressure on it you just want to stand up and push real hard for thirty seconds or so while it's at the correct temperature once the garment is fully cooled down you can go ahead and inspect the patch now it is very important to be patient don't go fiddling around with it while it's hot or even warm make sure it's cooled down completely before you mess with it I'm not trying to peel the patch off I'm just bending the garment and I can see that stuck on really nicely hope you enjoyed this video have a great thing ride safe and get your patches from the cheap place calm we make quality work
