Instant Fabric and Leather Adhesive, 1 Gallon, TG-128

So as far as I am concerned this is the best adhesive you can buy. You are supporting not only an American company you are also supporting a wonderful cause that helps people when you purchase this product. Works as it says for everything it will do I have nothing bad to say. Many reviews I have read that say it is not strong or didn't work. In these negative reviews look at how they used it and you can tell that some common sense might be lacking. I have used this on everything from sewing projects to a gasket adhesive and it works. It is stretchy and rubbery when fully cured. When fully cured it will not wash out of material in the washer and will survive a dryer. Wear nitrile gloves and have a wet washcloth when using this product to wipe away spills or excess. Application with a brush works or just use little drops where you need it. Keep it off your skin it is a pain to wash off. If you have a latex allergy be careful with this adhesive on your bare skin. Once this is cured which doesn't take long it is extremely strong. I sometimes cheat and use an iron or heat gun to speed things up. Temperatures over 70° or a hot summers day it will cure very fast. After 24 hours it is fully cured if you use a lot especially on a big patch job on a canvas tarp or something heavy duty. This is what I use to a lot to hold material in place for sewing. I wish they made this product in a aerosol can to spray onto materials. Works great for foam. Quilter's and upholstery shops should love using this product. Use sparingly a little bit goes a long way. After keep everything clean wipe top, wipe bottle, rinse/clean tip, and place a piece of plastic wrap underneath lid to keep the air out so it doesn't solidify in the bottle. As long as it doesn't freeze or solidify it should last a very long time. I haven't found another water based adhesive that is better.

This is great stuff. Have a seam starting to split? Put a little on the inside of the seam. Loose threads, a little dab will do. This is a liquid latex that will stick and soak into textiles, sticking to itself very well. When dried, any exposed glue will be a little sticky. Dust with a little baby powder and your all set. Although it sticks to textiles, if its a hard surface it will not stick. If it gets on your hands, just rub it and it comes right off. I have used it to repair rips in jeans and although it is visible, it withstands the washer and dryer without any issue. In use, be very careful because it is thin like water. Open the nozzle as little as possible to get as much as you need. If you open it too much it gets everywhere and cant be removed from fabric or rugs.

I used Bish's Tear Mender to get a tight, near perfect fit on custom leather seat covers in my car. No seat cover is going to be perfect, but the fitment should be close enough that all you are dealing with is some minor looseness here and there. I used an upholstery needle (45 degree bezel) and syringe to insert the Tear Mender between the leather backing and the original cloth upholstery. The result was a near perfect fit on a Recaro-style seat with a very deep curve in the seating surfaces. The Tear Mender is VERY FORGIVING if you make mistakes (like not holding the needle securely in place while applying high pressure to the syringe, resulting in the needle flying off and adhesive squirting all over the seat). Fortunately, the Tear Mender doesn't adhere well to hard surfaces, so it just wipes away or peels off if it's dried. It also can be easily cleaned off the syringe, your fingers or any other non-porous surface. Also, a little seems to go a long way. I inserted the needle in a loose area, squirted about 1ML in between the fabrics and used a plastic spreader to both spread the adhesive and press the fabrics together. Holding the fabrics together about 10 seconds usually was sufficient to get it to adhere well. I love the fact that Tear Mender is very liquid yet it sticks fabrics together like crazy. I was worried that I'd not be able to find anything capable of being drawn into an upholstery syringe. But this was perfect for that. You can't draw the adhesive into the syringe with the needle attached, but I used a small 10ML cup and with the needle removed was able to draw the Tear Mender into the syringe easily. Then, simply attach the needle and go to work. It took about 4 ounces to completely treat one seat. I got a near perfect, custom reupholstered leather seat look at half the cost of a custom re-upholstery job. Great product!

I've been using Bish Fabric Mender for several years. It truly holds securely and is easy (but somewhat messy) to apply. Last week a tree branch broke off during high winds and made multiple tears in our gazebo fabric. Knowing how well this product works, I ordered a new bottle, cut some patches from other leftover fabric, coated the patches and applied them to the various tears. Bish works excellently holding the patches. I would recommend it for almost,any fabric repair. The only issue I have is that if you don't keep the bottle well sealed, the liquid will harden before use.

I'm sure this is great if you're repairing clothes a lot, but I ordered this expecting that, like most adhesives, it would be shelf-stable indefinitely while factory-sealed, so I could keep it on hand for emergencies. Well, the day finally arrived, and I opened it, only to find it completely turned to rubber inside the factory-sealed bottle. In the fine print on the box, it says it only has a 12 month shelf life, but it doesn't say that anywhere on the listing. This should be one of the top bullet points. So anyway, if you buy this, don't expect it to still be good in a year.

Purchased this from a video blogger that recommended it. I'm so happy I did she was spot on with how great it is. My son uses it to apply patches to his jean jackets. I use it for hems and patches on jeans.

يلصق بسرعه وهذا شيء حلو فيه

Fantastic for tent repair!!! I am overjoyed at how well this adheres patches to my canvas tent. I recommend totally and completly.

product arrived in good condition, however, the glue doesn't stick well on the dog's ear

You get a lot for your money. Turns to rubber very quickly. The only problem is the container, controlling the flow of gue. The liquid is so thin that if you are not super careful the stuff pours out on everything and it's impossible to get that stuff off if gets on the front of some item you're making. Pour a few drops into a flat container and use a Q-tip, since you don't need much to make this magic liquid work. It holds things together, solid.

good product
