TEAR-AID Vinyl Repair Kit, Type B Clear Patch for Vinyl-Coated Materials, Works on Tents, Awnings, Air Matresses, Pool Liners and More, Green Box, Single Pack

So my husband, being thoughtful, put a 5 inch tear in our aerobed..long story! I purchased this item and Coghlans 8880 airstop. I fixed it and its held up through guest visits without budging... For those of you, like me, who were lost as to how to fix this at first, here's how I did it: I cut the tear-aid strip in half....I then cleaned the inside edges of the tear with the alcohol wipe included...very carefully I put a strip in the matress and attached it underneath the tear, sticky side facing out of the matress/tear at me. I did this for extra insurance. It was dificult. The tear didnt come together perfectly, there was about 1/8-1/4"gap...which is OK...it also bunched up a bit in the last corner I attached. Not a problem. It was really tricky though....that strip is really sticky and once its onmits on...dont mess with it! Have a small handed person do this part...I did require my husbands help holding the rest of the area flat. Then I cleaned the outside and went about applying 5 coats of the 8880 airstop. It was time consuming, but easy. Lastly, when that was dry, I cleaned the area again (with the same wipe....it was a little wet wipe pouch thing.., I tore it near the top and put the wipe back in and rolled the top...it lasted through the whole process-my husband left his out and it was a goner in 5 mins!), then applied the second tear-aid strip over the whole thing... It has held up great and was used for a guest that night! Much better than scrapping a $100+ air matress. The strip on the inside really did the trick. It was the hardest part, but worth the extra insurance! Good luck!

Used before and it works great on small tear on boat seats

Sticks nicely to pure vinyl, but I had fuzz around the hole that it immediately detached from within 12 hours. I assume the peeling would eventually encourage the entire patch to come off, so i added some E6000 (common glue that you will find at Walmart and home improvement stores). That appears to work well and adhered well to the patch and fuzz. Doesn't look pretty with the E6000, but the mattress holds air and is no longer pealing.

Very durable repair. Some whitening after a couple days, could have been installer error but it’s holding amazing on my truck bed tarp and I’m not gonna redo it

My repair is particularly challenging so this is the source of my issues with this product. There are a few small holes on a seam of my PVC inflatable boat from abrasion or other damage. I was not able to get the patch to secure tightly enough on the edge of the seam so air continues to leak out, though at a slower rate. I expected this to be the problem and unfortunately the failure was as expected. I applied two overlapping patches in hope that I could get enough surface area. I may try again with more aggressive cleaning along the edge of the seam. For better or worse it was reasonably easy to remove the original patches to try again or go with a PVC glue and repair kit.

I applied these patches as stated in the instructions, they have been on a week and a half. The tarp has been inside because I did not have enough patches to finish the job. The patches are already s little dog eared. For half of last summer and all of this summer I have had Gorilla Tape covering the holes. Sure it didn't look good, black tape on a beige cover, but at least it lasted. The tape just began to dog ear and lift a few weeks ago so I decided to go with patches. As of now it doesn't look like these are going to last as well as the Gorilla Tape did. Plus the huge expense for three packages of these patches doesn't make any sense since a roll of Gorilla Tape costs about 6 bucks or so. If they were going to last it might be a worthwhile investment, but I don't think these are going to make it a few months. I think I'm going back to the tape. The tape was still very hard to pull off when I decided to remove it. By the way the 17 stabs in this tarp were done by a kid related to my tenant for no apparent reason other than to have fun with his new knife, he's 12. As I see it now it appears like I just wasted my money. Time will tell I will update as necessary. UPDATE: WELL THAT WAS SEPTEMBER 3RD IT IS NOW NOVEMBER 4TH AND THEY DID NOT LAST, UNLESS YOU CALL TWO MONTHS LASTING! I DID WASTE MY MONEY! I JUST TRIED CAMCO AWNING REPAIR TAPE AND THAT ALREADY SEEMS TO BE HOLDING BETTER. IT'S WIDER AND YOU CUT IT TO THE SIZE YOU NEED. ALSO YOU GET A LOT MORE TAPE.

The TEAR-AID Vinyl Repair Kit works wonderfully on inflatable beds! It provides a quick and easy solution for patching up any punctures or tears. The clear patch is durable and blends in seamlessly with the surface, ensuring a neat and effective repair. I’ve used it on my inflatable bed, and it held up perfectly—no leaks or issues after applying the patch. The kit is simple to use, and the adhesive is strong enough to withstand the pressure. A must-have for anyone with inflatable items! Highly recommend for fixing inflatable beds and other vinyl-coated materials.

I think a raccoon chewed up my hot tub cover and it was right where it folds. Styrofoam was everywhere. This product seems to work well. I got the smaller package to see how it would hold up. I put it on while the sun was out and it was hot. Seems to be holding up well over the last month. Rain storms, heat and wind aren’t affecting it. Be careful because it is super sticky and care needs to be given ahead of time before applying it. Laying it out and cutting to shape helps. I’d also recommend keeping it cool so that it is easier to handle as you are applying it. I like that it comes with some small patches! I am on my second purchase.

Espectacular la calidad del adhesivo. Puesto en el asiento de una moto que tenía una pequeña rotura desde hace más de un mes y como nuevo. Ni se despega en los extremos, ni se arruga, ni se encoje, ni se mueve. El adhesivo tampoco aparece más allá del propio parche como pasa por ejemplo con la cinta americana, pot lo que no mancha ni se pega al pantalón. La pena es que no lo haya de color negro como la tapicería para que el roto no se vea a través pero por lo demás lo recomiendo al 100%. No hay nada parecido y he tenido muchas motos y el mismo problema. Antes de conocer este material sólo se podia retapizar porque el resto de parches y materiales que probé nunca funcionarion.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Es hat mir geholfen. Der Maulwurf ist verschwunden. Vielen Dank.

Aparentemente parece ser bom produto mas no meu caso não deu certo pois a almofada não aceitou o reparo.

Not good product

Not much different from its direct competitor tuff tape. Not perfect but not the worst out there.
