Question 1

I have a Nike dry fit sweat shirt that the lettering is peeling off of. Will this work for that kind of application?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Tear Mender will work with this type of application, however be very careful when applying the adhesive as "less is more".  Do NOT use too much and do NOT put the glue on the fabric from the bottle.  Make a puddle of glue about the size of a nickel on a hard service and use your index finger as the applicator.  Dip your finger in the adhesive and lightly apply to the underside of the lettering and the shirt itself, making sure to only apply to the area that needs to be glued.  Tear Mender dries beige so you don't want it to applied any larger than the area that needs repaired.  Tear Mender is non-toxic so it won't harm your skin and it will stretch with the material.  Good luck!

Question 2

Lookin to plug a pin hole on a nylon  down jacket. Not going  to patch, just cover the hole. Anyone  try this yet?

Accepted Answer

I suspect it would work, you'd have to fold the nylon over a little bit to make it cover the hole since the liquid is thin but this stuff works on pretty much everything.  I patched my son's jeans and then decided to try to rip the patch off as a test (because the iron ons always peel off) and the jeans ripped around the edges of where the tear mender patch was.  Basically - you're going to rip anything BUT the tear mender, you need this stuff.

Question 3

Use this to glue a patch on the theigh area of a pair of jeans?

Accepted Answer

I never tried using it for a patch, but I was disappointed using it to mend a tear. You would be better off using a patch with a glue backing that is meant for jeans and iron it on.

Question 4

I am repairing a crack in a vinyl purse. Can i build this material up in layers to fill in the crack as some of the vinyl is gone. Thanks! Carol

Accepted Answer

My mother tried repairing a leather purse and the substance was just liquid. It did not work at all even after multiple layers.
