Not all patches/software work with Relokick.

An Automatic Kickstart ROM Switcher is very convenient, quick and easy to use, hold down Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga for more than 5 seconds and the alternative ROM is switched on.

An example would be: Half n Half - a patch to split chip ram into chip+slow for compatibility with games.

Yes it has a plastic insulation layer

Well yes, there are some older A500 game titles that require both slow memory and chip memory as well as older Kickstart.

The stock Amiga 600 has just chip memory.

As has already been stated in this thread,  if the game requires full 1MB of RAM, this will be a problem on a stock A600 as Relokick takes away memory available to the system.

We have recorded a video of the Kickstart ROM switcher being used within an A600:
