Important Information

Safety in Ironing: Before starting the ironing process, it's crucial to understand and adhere to safety measures. Ironing bead plates should always be done by an adult to avoid accidents. Keep children at a safe distance from the iron as the melted beads can become very hot and pose a burn risk.

Right Temperature Settings: For optimal results, adjust the temperature of the iron correctly. Test and adjust based on your specific iron. A small test project can help find the right temperature.

Iron Setting: When ironing bead plates, ensure the iron is set to 'dry' and not 'steam'. Using steam can affect how the beads stick together and reduce the quality of the finished result.

Handling Pegboards: Avoid direct contact between the iron and the pegs when ironing. Only iron when beads are placed on the board. Direct ironing on the pegs without beads can melt and damage the board.

Using Different Bead Types: We recommend not mixing NABBI BioBeads with standard NABBI beads during ironing. They react differently to heat; standard beads are more heat-sensitive than BioBeads. Keeping them separate ensures the best results.
