adhawkins Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Hi, If I were to have stuff sewn onto my new race suit (the SS Driver label to start with) are there any special considerations I need to take into account? Thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyetune Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Don't know whether it is of any use, but I was reluctant to do this, so I used a fabric glue called SEW-SIMPLE bought from the local supermarket, I was told by someone in the know that this would do no harm and could be removed.

Mark Stanton Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Just sew it onto your waist band thing Most folks sew em straight onto suit by hand and only go through top layer If you're involved in that much of a fire a bit of cotton and a few needle holes ain't gonna be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sew rather than glue... are there any special considerations I need to take into account? Wear a good quality thimble. Stainless steel are best, although I believe there's a carbon available. Avoid the fake carbon plastic ones. They can be a bit sweaty and are too Max Singer for my liking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz Billsberry Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Andy just sew the mothers on. I have had no probs with Screwters at any events. The only flame proof cotton for want of a word is the NSPCC symbol on the back of my suit which is flame proof cos' it’s a fully stitched/embroided logo done by machine and its bigish.

MartinH Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 On a serious note. The thing that comes with SPARCO overalls and looks like a label is in fact the Users Handbook which gives, amongst other things, instructions for the application of embroidery and labels. Basically, you should only sew onto the outer layer of the suit. It goes on to state that the label backing and thread should be fireproof to ISO 15025. My SS Drivers badge is sewn onto the outer layer but the thread came out of Mrs H's sewing box so I doubt its fireproof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewey Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 If you have pockets on the chest area, then sew the WSCC one there cause you can get it on leaving a healthy nomex layer underneath. Certainly the case with my suit anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 Don't think I have any pockets on the chest...I'll check though. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
