TM 10-8400-201-23 7-7. REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE-Continued (4) Resizing.    Resize  all  items  after  repair  and  cleaning  according  to  schedules  listed  in  tables  71-2  through  7-6. When item's deviate in size from original marking, obliterate the old marking, and print or stamp the proper size with an indelible pencil or waterproof Ink near the old size.  When an item measures smaller than the size listed, mark the next lower size in the garment.  Items with measurements falling below the lowest size in the schedule will not be accepted as condition code "B". (a) Food handler's apron.  The Army uses the one-piece bib apron with tie loops and separate tie and neck tapes Size 1 is 46 inches (116.84cm) long. (b) Food handler's white cotton drill coat.  The coat when measured, shall be closed (snapped) and laid out without  tension  on  a  smooth,  flat  surface  so  that  creases  and  wrinkles  will  not  affect  the  measurement. Smooth out the area to be patched so that the tear is closed or very nearly closed, and so that there will be no wrinkles, folded seams, or other protrusions under the iron when it is applied.  Pre-warm the area to be patched  by  pressing  with  a  household  electric  dry  Iron,  or  steam  iron  used  dry.  With  the  iron  set  at  the cotton Indicator or as high as possible without scorching the fabric, apply the iron for 5 seconds or more. Immediately  position  the  patch  of  the  desired  size  and  shape.    Hold  the  iron  on  the  patch  for  about  12 seconds.  Use no more than a slight rotating or reciprocal motion of the iron and apply constant pressure. Remove the iron and allow the patched area to cool in place for about 5 seconds or long enough so that the patch will not life off when the garment is removed from the ironing board.  Patches that are longer than  the  iron  may  be  ironed  in  sections,  starting  at  the  center  and  completing  each  section  before proceeding to the next section.  Overlapping of the Iron upon a previously bonded section is permissible. Carefully trim away any frayed protrusions at the torn edges.
