Required Materials

The very first thing you're going to want to do is gather all the materials you'll need. Here's our recommended list of tools and supplies to work with ELastoLite.

Iron

You’ll need an iron. Not a soldering iron, rather a fabric iron. The iron needs a cotton setting as that will be the optimum temperature to bond the connectors.

Hobby Knife

The circuitry will need to be stripped of it’s cover where the connections will be made. A hobby knife will make this easy.

Wax Paper

While some situations warrant the connector connection and ironing everything into the garment happening at once, others might go easier one at a time. Wax paper will help keep the iron on material sticking to your work surface. In addition, placing wax paper over top the circuitry when ironing it helps should you apply too much pressure or hold the iron on for too long.

Wire Strippers

There’s a small chance you may have to strip the inverter wires a little. So while not required, you might want to have a pair handy.

Patience

This can be a bit of a frustrating process. Keep your mind on the goal, and stay patient with yourself.
