My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Waterproofing patches

18 years ago

Hi,

I have been embroidering patches that contain some ink from an ink jet printer. How would I waterproof these patches to prevent the ink from running? Is there some kind of spray I can use? Also how do you recommend I wash the clothing with the patch on --- Hand wash?

Thanks for any help.
