Yes, it's all fine here. I'm on the countryside with not so many people. So i don't have to much to worry about.

Do not want to throw water on the patch as it sure looks good to me. But you can always do a black light test and if it glows then it's a fake. Natural fibers do not glow under a black light.

They will if they have been exposed to detergents and such. Blacklight isn't foolproof. There are also chemicals available that can remove the particulates that glow under black light. I forget the name of it.
