Additional Details
The heat seal is a very strong adhesive, and for most applications is considered permanent.
To heat seal your patches with a home iron, set it to 320 degrees Fahrenheit. If you do not have a sturdy ironing board, use a folded terry cloth towel under the garment that you are putting the patch onto.
Put the patch in place and "seal" it with the iron. You want to apply about 15 pounds of pressure. Try to imagine a 10 pound bag of sugar, plus a 5 pound bag sitting on top of the iron.
Do not move the iron, hold it motionless on the patch.
Apply the 15 pounds of pressure to the patch for 15 seconds, then remove the iron.
At this point the adhesive is still liquid. It is very important not to move the garment until it has cooled. You may even want to apply a light pressure to the patch while it cools. Let cool for a couple minutes.
Do not subject the patch and garment to any bending in the area of the patch for several more minutes to allow the adhesive to completely set. Depending on the type of garment you apply the patch to, you may want to have it sewn after you heat apply it. If you are putting the patch on the back of a riding jacket, where you know it would be taking a beating, you would want it sewn on. Of course you can always wait to do this until it starts to come loose.
The adhesive will not adhere to leather due to the oily surface. It will hold it in place in order to make it easier to sew it on though.
