Tear-Aid Roll Non-Vinyl (A)

Tear aid material kit A is an excellent product, it’s extremely sticky so don’t let it touch anything other than what you want to stick it too.

This product saved me from certain disaster and family shame! I was leant our small family marquee to use at a little local festival. When we put it up, it was with a group of slightly disinterested helpers, and it was raining and a bit windy. Not everyone held on well enough which meant the wind took one side of the marquee not yet attached to anything, and whipped it in the air. While we were flailing around trying to grab it, a big tear was ripped through the marquee fabric. My sister's wedding was in a few weeks and she needed the marquee. I was so worried and panicked that I had been entrusted with it and had managed to do something so silly. After a lot of googling it emerged that this was the right product to save me from family shame! While it might seem expensive, it was a lot less than paying for repair, and I can really count on it doing it's job. It was easy to use, the instructions were clear, and the marquee went up at the wedding with no issues. It is clear which means it is very hard to tell there was a repair at all. There were no leaks or other issues. The day was saved!

Excellent products. Helped me salvage my wetsuit & extend the usage period.

Stretchy and sticky. Repaired the hole in our canvas camper trailer.

Unfortunately an adult decided to through themselves on to this LittleTykes bouncy slide house. It tore a 15 inch gaping hole at the spot that probably receives the most use, the step up to the ladder. It took the entire roll of tape and seems to work fine. It has already taken some abuse this summer and a couple washes as well and sticking firm. I will update this next season when we open it up again to see how well it has lasted through the winter storage.

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.
