Review on Beacon 12PA1 Patch Attach 1 Ounce by Karla Richter

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This product inspired me, a 42 year old father, to start sewing.

I had to read the manual several times just to make sure I'm not an idiot and I'm not doing anything wrong. dries to a powdery dust if left in place. I know this because after my 17th failed attempt to apply my son's scout patches, I started "modifying" the instructions to see if I could get any use out of this product, but unfortunately I wasn't the case. . Changed the "Pre-apply setup time” (10 minutes) from 2 minutes to 26 minutes in 2-minute increments. It does not matter. I varied the application method of dry iron, 60 seconds per side in different ways. For example, try steam. Try some atomized mist. 90 seconds per side. 120 seconds on each side. In the end I came to the conclusion that applying this product to a patch and smoothing it onto the uniform provides no more adhesion than attaching the elastic to the same patch and simply ironing it over the uniform with your own braid. For the sake of a smile, I smeared the band-aid with Elmers' school glue and was amazed at how much better it held. Don't waste your time on this unless you are a bored experimenter and want to confirm my results. Get some sticky glue or do what I did and start sewing. It's relaxing and you can choose your own thread color!
