important tips

  • Always use a silicone pad for best results. we do not recommend any foam pads, as the pressure is not as good using those. for post ( preheat ) press use only a silicone pad as well (recommended), use our see our silicone hat mat for best results 
  • Always Check your patches before hat placement. 
  • Always check your upper heat press platen with a laser temperature gun to ensure accurate temps, before applying GripTec adhesive to your leatherette sheets
  • Store your patches or leatherette sheets in a cool dry place.
  • Lint roll your hats prior to patch placement.
  • keep your adhesive backing free of dust, use a water based wipe to clean any dust off
  • All our tests are done using a Stahls Hotronix 360 IQ Hat press, your settings may vary for any other style leatherette and adhesive or hat press. For Patches upper and lower heat is recommended, which is why we use the 360 IQ.
  • Always order a few extra sheets of leatherette, to dial in your laser engraving and cut settings
