Looking to customize my JB rugged case. Looking into adding patches to it, not league patches but patches of things I like that would be the iron on type, any ideas for getting them to stick? Thanks
How to apply patches to JB Rugged
- Thread starter The Verbalist
- Start date
I was looking more for people that have done it, I don't see why JB would be putting patches on after a case was completed.
if the patch doesn't have adhesive on it then you can use contact cement, Barges or Weldwood are two good brands. Follow the directions exactly and the patch will stick permanently.
Be sure to put some weight on it. I usually use rubber bands or something else to apply pressure and put some weight on top of that.
We do actually put patches on cases when people want their names on an already made case.
FWIW I have seen some pretty damn cool cases done up with after market patches. Some glued on some sewn on.

John, what kind of needle would you recommend for sewing and what kind of thread?
If not looking for a permanent fixture, I believe double sided outdoor tape works well. Never tried it though.

We use this product to put badges on our sons scout uniform. It works great! I would guess instead of putting your case in the dryer, you could run a hair dryer over the top of the patch for a little bit.
Just brainstorming :yikes:
Gorilla glue

Thank you for all the replies, I am going to try JB's suggestion when some of my patches come in.
Interesting... Nylon is traditionally one of the easier plastics to bond. What adhesives did you have problems with?
