Tried just gently pulling the patches off. One patch came off easily and left no residue...glad I put a couple tack downs of thread with it.

The other came off clean except for under the St. Andrew's cross part of the flag emblem in the center. Will see what happens when I wash it tomorrow.

Ordered two Irish flags to replace these patches so even if the adhesive doesn't come off I'll just cover it up.

The caramel workman's should look better with the Irish patches than it did with the Scottish flag and Navajo Nation seal patch.
