Seam Sealing Tape Waterproof Gore Textile Repair Iron On DIY Fix Fabric Outdoor Jacket Gear Clothing 11yd

Bottom line: There are no instruction with this product. Just a roll of tape in a plastic bag.So here's what you do: set your iron to the wool setting. The "synthetic" setting isn't hot enough. I used this product to re-seal a high end (for it's time) Marmot gore tex technical Shell that was about 20 years old (1998). I washed it recently and all of the original team tape just delaminated and fell off. So I ordered this gore tex tape.Fortunately, I think, there was some adhesive residue from the former team tape left on the jacket's gore tex. Not sure if it made a big différence for adhésion, but it helped probably. The key is to use the wool setting (quite warm) and apply pressure to the nose of the iron. Trust me, to get the tape's adhésive to "bite" your arm will become fatigued if you're doing it right. You should be able to see the stiches of the seam to imprint through the seam tape. Only heat and pressure will permit this to occur. You need to move the nose of the iron about a half inch every 3-5 seconds. Otherwise you'll need to go back over the seam to make sure it adheares. Don't be afraid to get your jacket's Gore Tex hot. It can take the heat. However, this roll of seam tape did not provide enough material to completely re-seal each seam on my Marmot jacket. It is an atypical, well fitted parka with lots of seams -- especially on the Hood/neck and the sleeves to allow a climbing helmet and lots of movement in the sleeves. Most "normal" rain jackets would be well served with this roll of seam tape... probably with some leftover. That's it. Good luck! I opted for re-taping the seams and using Nikwax DWR to revive an old jacket rather than buy a new one.

The only dislike is the headline. Once i upped the temp it FUSED itself to the waterproof-material-coated nylon fabric (REI windpants). Yes, I melted some of the white coating on the pants, but once I got the hang of it, it worked great! I used a manila folder between the pants and seam sealer tape and the iron. This ended up working like a charm! But I had to UP the temp to near cotton. To avoid melting the coating material if you have some on your product, I used the edges of the iron to localize the heat along the tape/seam area. It required TIME and PRESSURE as well This seemed to control where heat went but gave me enough to fuse the tape to the seam. It ISN'T going ANYWHERE!. I'll continue to use this product.

This is not Gore-Tex tape. If you read the product description carefully, it's described as "generic Gore Tex repair tape." There is no such thing. There are membranes similar to Gore-Tex, but none would ever call itself Gore Tex. Likewise there are seam tapes used for repairing Gore-Tex, but no reputable seller would ever claim they were Gore-Tex unless it was an authentic Gore-Tex product.It's one thing to say that this product "Can be used in repairing Gore tex or Dryloft fabric goods..." but in the listing title and description they are clearly misrepresenting this item.

I used the tape to replace the seams on an old ski jacket. I used a regular household iron on medium and was able to get 90% done before running out of tape. Application wasn't very difficult but if you have leftover glue on the jacket from the previous tape it will melt and goo up your iron if your not careful. I tried to be careful and wiped off the old glue with a rag when necessary. You will need to double check the seams after completion to ensure all ends and seams are fully attached. In the second picture you can see a corner that needs a few more seconds of ironing. Wish I had about 36" more to complete the job!

Works pretty good I have a shell jacket that I love but the tape on the seams was pulling off. I have had some lighter spots and where it looks that it looks like it did not seal down all the way but if I pull on it it's stuck down really well. It may just be my cheap iron. You can see that in the photos. Before and after photos. Not done with all of it yet but used it today working great

I bought this tape to reseal the seams in a old LL Bean rain jacket. I had to take off the existing tape which was falling off, leaving on the tape that was still securely attached to the jacket. I put my iron at about medium and went over the seams with the new tape and it sealed it up quite nicely. I haven't had a chance to test it in driving rain but the seams appear to be secure and the tape attached well. I just wish that I didn't have to buy such a big roll as I only needed about5 feet or so from the roll.

I repaired an old Gortex Jacket with a damaged draw cord seam. There are not instructions but comments helped. Very warm Iron, Use towels to protect the Gortex from the heat so only the tape is heated. Takes some planning to fixate to the garment. I used clips to hold in place so little or no hands on once set up. Takes more heat than the Gortex Jacket can handle so the protective towels over the UN-affected areas keeps it safe. Challenging but leaves a good seam in the end.

To those who say it doesn’t work, they need to spend more time applying heat. Watch YouTube videos on how to and I guarantee it works. I followed the video by arc’teryx where they used a block of wood to help isolate the area you’re applying heat and after applying heat use a frozen object to cool the glue. Worth watching that video before you start. Fixed my 15 year old Gore-Tex jacket’s old seam tape.
