WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

Hand wash in luke warm water only.


Done in a hurry as they were the only clean pair found prior to a holiday.

Don't know about washing. When I ordered the glue sticks they were for
two different purposes, wood and other? The sticks are identical so I
don't know which I used.

Same stuff used to fabricate a cover for the GC play pit. Woven
polyethylene tarpaulin. Looks OK so far.


What do you think will happen to hot melt glue in hot water?

Mind, wonkypedia suggests it doesn't melt until 120C so it may not be a
problem.


For occasional wear, it may be some months before I find out. The
likelihood of prevailing on my wife to use a low temperature wash for my
clothes is pretty low!

The full story is longer.... my last Jeans purchase from M+S turned out
to have the hip pockets set so low that wallet and mobile phone make
driving uncomfortable. Presumably some fashion statement only relevant
to the wilds of Chelsea:-(
