*Recommended Glowforge settings: 1000/12/340 (Engraving does not need to be deep to show contrasting color) lower power slightly for the golden or silver engrave patches.

*Leather engrave settings: 35% power, 600 lpi, 90% speed. Defocused slightly.

LA Awesome cleaner is recommended to remove any laser residue after engraving.

*Patches may be hand washed and air dried. Do not use heat when drying patches.

***Pressing Instructions***(Please note: all equipment is different and should be tested for best settings. These are recommended starting points.)

Press on to hat or other item using a heat press until adhered. Suggest using butcher paper to protect patch while heat pressing.

Suggested settings: 290°F-300°F for 20-25 seconds. Press again if needed to fully adhere. Settings may need to be adjusted depending on the equipment being used. Adding a few stitches or rivets will help patches stay on the hat, but is personal preference.

A different adhesive may also be used if preferred; simply pull off the included adhesive first.
