DIRECTIONS FOR USE
If you can obtain a scrap piece of fabric, make a practice
repair on it. Read all of the steps before making an actual
repair.
1. Clean the damaged spot to be repaired with a
household cleaner. Trim off any loose threads. If any
padding is missing beneath the damaged spot, and the
damage is depressed, fill in that area with common
household cotton. Spread the cotton evenly into and
beneath the damaged spot (only if needed).
2. Mix the fabric powders together in the empty container
with the round ball in it, to obtain the correct color.
Shake the container, after the colors you select to match
your fabric are in the container, for 30 – 45 seconds.
This will mix the colors thoroughly. Use the color chart
as a guide to help you match the colors.
3. If the damage is a hole or larger, a backing support is
needed under the damaged spot. Cut the backing fabric
in this kit, slightly larger than the damaged spot, and
insert it into and under the damage as support.
4. Using the spatula, apply the clear air drying adhesive
(milky white adhesive-dries clear) into the damaged
spot. Fill it into the top of the damage, as evenly as
possible, using the spatula. Take the screen applicator,
and apply the colored fabric powders onto it. Hold the
screen directly above the adhesive and shake the
screen. This will sift the fabric powders onto the clear
adhesive. Cover the adhesive completely with the
colored fabric powders. Use the spatula to pack down
the fabric powders into the adhesive, and then duplicate
the patterns in the fabric with the spatula. Allow to dry
for several hours (overnight preferred). After the repair
area is dry, blow off any excess fabric powders.
5. If the spot being repaired is in an area that gets hard
wear, you can protect it by lightly spraying a clear
(aerosol preferred) hair spray over the area. Do this
only after the repaired area is dry. Only spray a light
coat onto the area that was repaired.
Color Matching Tips
The fabric powders in your kit can be mixed to match
many colors. By putting the fabric powders into the
container with the marble ball and shaking thoroughly,
they will mix together readily.
Additional colors can always be added to improve the
color match.
Repair Tip
After the repair is finished (before it is dry) you can use
the edge of your spatula to put designs or lines into the
repair job to duplicate the pattern of the fabric. If the
damaged is very large, the spot can be sewn with a
needle and thread to strengthen the spot. Working the
adhesive under the edges of the damage will also make
for a stronger repair job. Repair professional often sew
the damage before doing the repair job.
For Cleanup
1. To clean up while still wet, use water.
2. For dry clean-up, use naphtha.
3. Wash hands with Permatex
