TEAR-AID Fabric Repair Kit, Type A Clear Patch for Canvas, Fiberglass, Leather, Polyester, Nylon & More, Gold Box, 2 Pack

I used this to repair a holiday blowup. I stored had stored it in its bag in my garden shed and some critter chewed into it. The patch kit was easy to use. I was able to apply the both the inner and outer sides of the nylon fabric. It stuck quickly. I let it set for the specified time. Set the decoration outside and plugged it in. It blew up and the patch held through the entire season. I looked at it when put it away and it looked good - no lift at the edges.

Bought this kit in 2015 but didn’t end up using it for what I bought it for.... Six years later the inside liners of my tennis shoes started to wear through prematurely so I figured I’d see if this tape would work instead of trying to sew a new piece of liner into them. To my surprise it did adhere to the liner fabric and has held up for a month of use now, playing 3-4 times a week for 2 hours each time! My first comment is that the tape is NOT easy to work with. I imagine it’s because the adhesive is so extremely strong though because the issue comes from it sticking to itself. Once it has stuck to itself it WILL NOT release. I suggest not taking the backing off till right before you stick it to whatever your repairing and peeling the backing as you work instead of all at once like I did. This is what they instruct as well in the instructions. I’m amazed that it has lasted even a month but it doesn’t show any signs of coming off. If I get a few extra months out of the shoes it will have been worth the cost of the kit (even if I had bought it for this purpose). Will buy again now that I know how well it works!

Fabulous product. Very easy to use

This product is fantastic! I have a gazebo at my house and one up at my vacation home as well and up until now have had to replace them about every other year, the longest one lasted 3 years before it tore. The problem would be that they dry rot and then the small tears which turn into the large tears with the wind. Here in Michigan it just got warm enough to put my gazebo top out and I use this kit to repair two inch and a half long tears in my gazebo top. At first I was discouraged as it didn't seem to adhere all the way across the patch but that could be due to my impatience. After repairing the top and installing it on the gazebo we encountered some of the biggest wind storms I've seen in years and the gazebo held up. A couple weeks later, being michigan, we got an inch and a half of wet snow and I went to clear it off of the gazebo and the patches were still holding up great!

Why do the directions say you need an inch on all sides of the patch, and then they give you a 7/8” patch and a 1.5” patch if you can’t apply them properly. They do this with the type A&B styles. IMO, this is unacceptable. Also; you don’t get a lot for the money!

All in all a good product. I would buy it again. That being said.... It's a bit pricey for the quantity included. It's tape...not precious metal. I used it to repair a couple of tears in the attachment points of my polypropylene portable garage. I cleaned the area well with the alcohol pads supplied. At this point adhesion was not good. It was about 70 degrees F outside. I used a pinpoint lighter to gently heat up the material from behind without burning it and then a bit over the tape and it was like it was welded on! I cannot stress enough that if you do this ...DO NOT scorch the material or the tape! And do not cause what you're working on to go on fire! I do not speak from experience as I did not do any of that, but I can see it possibly being a problem for some people. It just needs some heat to work best...maybe a heat gun used judiciously...or even a blow dryer. Last...The backing on the tape is not easy to remove. To the manufacturer....you need to do something about the value for the money to the end user. You either need to improve on the initial adhesion of the adhesive you're using...or put the whole blow dryer thing in the instructions (or maybe the age of what I received caused that issue?) . Make the backing removal more user friendly in regards to peeling it off. Time will tell on the longevity of this product, but it's holding up so far.

I have a leather recliner with a wonderful soft and supple leather. It was a name brand and pricy item but I spend a lot of time in the chair watching the tube and DVR recodings. After 3+ years he seams began to seperate. The store repair crew said that they couldnt repair the seams as they would almost certainly split agin. the leather is intact, it just split/tore at the stitchd seam I tried Tear-Aid (Type A) and so far (about a month) it is working beautifully. The patches ae virtually invisible and are holding over the seams just fine. Am very impressed....... RLW

Though my expectations weren't high for this unfortunate and unsightly sort of tear, this product did a much better job than I anticipated patching a 3 inch rip in the screen of an MSR tent. I cut two patches the exact same size, flattened the repair area over a small piece of plywood on top of a box in order to have a surface upon which pressure could be applied, and had a helper for an extra set of hands secure the material in place while I affixed the patch and then flipped it over and put the same sized patch on the other size. We may have had a bit too much tension on the screen as it puckered a bit under the patch upon completion, but it IS 100% fixed. It's immediately evident that this is a durable material with excellent adhesion that will be a long-term repair in this specific application. Read the enclosed instructions carefully three times, read all the positive reviews here for advice, conscript a helper, and have a plan - you'll do fine. I got an extra box just in case there was an error (based on the negative reviews), but that's now in the big "repair kit" box for future use.

かなり接着力が強く、長期間の使用にも耐えられます。

A priori bon produit

It works on apparel with minor tears - not on anything really catastrophic, though

Excelente producto !!! La reparación es inmediata no requieres de preparación previa, solo limpiar bien el area y cortar el tamaño adecuado !!! Se adhiere bastante bien y se estira de acuerdo a lo requerido

Ottimo prodotto per riparare tende e tessuti tecnici strappati. Attenzione che ne esistono di due versioni, questa per i tessuti più comuni ed un'altra per il, mi sembra, vinile
