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

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 bought this tape as well as the sister product "B" to repair a rip in a pop up tent. The rip was about a foot long and right at the seam where the fabric, screen and vinyl window all came together right by the door. Now, one of these tapes is for vinyl and the other is for everything else so the problem was how to make them work in this situation. I managed to do it by overlapping the tape that works on everything else onto the tape that works on vinyl. As I'm writing this, I don't know which is which. What I do know is it has held and repaired a foot long tear. Because the tape is clear, it is not as ugly as it could be. It's not invisible, but it does the job in a apot that I thought would be impossible to fix. I'm very, very pleased with this product. Because it stretches once it is applied, it is holding and I believe it will hold for some time to come.

This stuff works great. I only take a star off for it's cost.

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.

Very sticky! And clear. Have to handle carefully because it sticks to fingers and itself.

I'm really impressed with this stuff, better than T-Rex tape, Gorilla Tape or other repair stuff I've tried and I've tried a lot. I first used it on a hunting blind where I was in a hurry and tore a hole in the fabric setting it up. It of course was a jagged irregular shape complicating the repair but this not only did the job but has held up for several seasons. On a hub style hunting blind there is pressure on it constantly when set up and it's out for the entire hunting season unlike most tents that have little pressure on them and only used for a few days at a time which it also works great on, I've fixed two of them. I also used it on a vinyl camper tent with good success as well. I bought more & keep with my camping and hunting gear as a necessary piece of on the spot repair equipment.

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.

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.
