TEAR-AID Fabric Repair Kit, Type A Clear Patch for Canvas, Fiberglass, Leather, Polyester, Nylon & More, 3in x 5ft Roll, Single Pack

I have now bought my weight in these rolls and my only qualm is I wish they’d come in a longer roll. It’s expensive, but worth it. My best recommendation is to only peel a little at a time as you place it, because this stuff is hella sticky and will not let go of the fabric once it’s on. I used it to repair a comforter and it extended its life at least another year+. Technically it’s still working, although the edges were starting to curl a little and get dirty. But that was a daily use sort of thing. I’ve been using the stuff to repair the inside of a fur coat I rescued, too, and it’s brilliant. Although I recommend taping down the first with painters tape to keep it out of the way. Again, it adheres to everything. It’s super strong and flexible. I honestly think it’s as indestructible as the Nokia brick phone 😂 Definitely buy.

I used the Type A repair tape to repair a bi-cast leather sofa that had a couple of tears in the seat cushion. So far it has been over two weeks and this tape has performed well with kids who sometimes step or jump on the seat cushion.Previously I had tried leather/vinyl repair kits with the liquid vinyl that you set with heat--those were terrible and never lasted more than a few days, plus they were very annoying to apply.This repair tape is awesome, and simple to apply. The adhesive is very strong, so I am not worried about the tape coming up at the corners or sides. If you visit the manufacturer's website, you will learn that the Type B repair tape is for vinyl only (because vinyl specifically contains oils that require a different adhesive), and the Type A repair tape is for everything else from fabrics to leathers, plastics, polyurethane, etc. Bi-cast leather has a polyurethane coating, so you want the Type A repair tape.The tape itself is clear with a matte finish, so depending on the surface, it is relatively "invisible". The adhesive is so strong that it can be difficult to separate the tape from the wax paper backing without marring the tape. After applying a couple of patches you develop a technique for applying the tape smoothly and neatly.I only regret that I did not buy this tape sooner and save myself the hassle from all of my previous failed repair attempts.

I have a nylon tarp that ripped during a wind gust, and decided to try this product before buying a replacement. I cut some strips lengthwise and applied a strip on both sides, top and bottom, over the damaged area. I've had the tarp up a few days camping since doing the repair, and it seems to be holding up very well so far. My only beef with this product is that it's only a short length on the roll, so fairly pricey. That said, it seems to do the job and beats buying new gear.

Awesome product

I've repaired countless items with this tape. It is the best. It's lightweight, absolutely clear, bonds like crazy, and is super tough. There are imposters, and I can't comment on those. This stuff is great!

I've use the Tear Aid Fabric Repair in countless applications over the years, and buying it by the roll and cutting to the size I need is the the most cost effective method.I have used this for both emergency or permanent canvas or cotton repair - whether it be for my clothing, backpacking and camping equipment.The key to making sure it sticks well to the fabric is how clean the fabric is to start. If it is not possible to clean the fabric first, like in the case of emergency or field repair, at least make sure the fabric is dry. If the fabric is dirty, and you don't have any masking tape, use a sacrificial piece of Tear aid to remove the dirt particles, then another piece to join or repair the fabric.Note this is not the best for cosmetics - if you really care about how it looks when you are done, although this is clear, you are going to see the repair. Plus, if your fingers aren't clean, the sticky side may get polluted and you'll see the fingerprints through the clear tape after installation.Bottom line is this is a great product if the fabric is clean and dry, and if applied correctly, it can last a long time. For less than ideal conditions, a little more care has to be taken and at least make sure the fabric is dry for best results.Thanks for reading.

I bought this after reading several other reviews about it working for bounce house water slide repairs. The area that was being repaired was on a seam. We sewed the seam back together and then put this on top of it to keep the stitching in place. After the kids hit the patch twice it was already lifting. I rounded the corners as recommended but that didn't matter. I don't know if the other type B patch would have worked better? The slide is not made of vinyl though. I would say that even when you put it on dry it was questionable as to whether or not it was going to stick, so I wouldn't use it on a dry bounce house either? It was fairly expensive for the amount that came on the roll as well. I ended up ordering another box in hopes of reinforcing the patch, but after 5 or 10 more times down the slide realized it was hopeless. I tried cancelling the second order less than an hour after making it and was unable to do so through Amazon. It's very sticky stuff and if you barely touch it it will leave fingerprints or even fingernail prints on the patch. I ended up using Flex Seal instead. Other than the above it is what was advertised.

I LIVE IN A SMALL ROOM AND USE A 20" HIGH AIR MATTRESS (DAY/NITE BED) 20+ HOURS A DAY. I HAVE REPLACED MY AIR MATTRESS SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO PIN HOLES THAT NO OTHER FIXES WORKED TO REMEDY. THIS TAPE REALLY WORKS AND HAS ALLOWED ME TO DELAY REPLACEMENT OF "NOT FOR DAILY USE" AIR BEDS. IT WORKS TO SOLVE THE ISSUE ONCE THE LEAK IS FOUND.
