Tankard How to repair patches from Metalbörse

Pic. 1.

So, everyone who has patches from Metalbörse knows that their backing materias has cotton-like structure and if you wear it actively, then, as user Atomicide told: "White backing gets worn down to the point that I can fold the patch like a handkerchief".

Moreover, if this backing material gets completely worn out, you will end up with a lot of threads that will sooner or later untiwne, and the patch can simply tear.

I do not think that these patches deserve such destiny because some of them are really awesome ones, so I decided to fix this issue.

To do that I simply took thermal glue that is known in Russia as a spider web. I tried my best to google it and find its name in English, but the only thing I found was that it is made of polyamide. Usually you put it between two fabrics and iron the fabrics, such that they get sticked to each other. If someone can tell me what it is, please let me know!

You simply put this spider web glue on the back of patch...

... and sew on the fabric.

Now everything is ready for ironing, and you iron on the fabric. It will get sticked to the back of the patch, exactly as we wanted!

The only this left is to cut off the rest...

That I have successfully done here.

And the patch is now successfully reanimated and can be used further!

It total it has taken for me abour 20 minutes, totally worth it for such a good patch. :)
