Cycling Jacket repair... How to????

SK said: "In general, NEVER apply heat to any synthetic (lycra, supplex, etc.) without knowing what you are doing."

Exactly why I was afraid to do it myself without some advice. I didn't want to "de-laminate" the layers and make it worse.

I'll pass on the Oschner info to my DH. He was thinking of sending it to Assos in Switzerland, but staying in the USA would be much better and probably less expensive.

Thanks,

For something fairly small, I'd sew a patch using something to match or clash out of my fabric stash. Definitely wouldn't iron anything on. Even iron on stuff needs to be sewn down around the edges (incorporated in seams or hems in garment making).

Did a great job using red fabric on my former boss's favorite shark jersey to mend damage from a crash. Even used fabric paint to add more "blood" to the waters...

My DH decided to send it to Assos in Switzerland, so I'm off the hook.
