1 Roll 65′ Iron on Hot Melt Seam Sealing Repair Adhesive Fusible Tape，Layer for Waterproof PU Coated Fabrics Sportswear Outdoor Gear Raincoat Tent Awning (Clear, 0.78" X 0.04")

Bought to replace the failing waterproof tape strip on the inside of an awning. Good value for money. The tape arrived on time but with no instructions for use. However, we used it on the same principle as the tape used for taking up trousers. Stretching the awning roof across the ironing board, we used our iron on the wool setting and with a cotton pressing cloth & firmly ironed it into position. Then used a little wallpaper roller to make sure it was firmly pressed into the seam while still warm and continued across the awning roof. It takes a bit of time and patience. Little tip: on large items like awnings make sure you have sufficient space around you to manoeuvre the item into position before ironing. Also remember which is the right side of the tape! All is well so far, the true test is when it’s next used in the rain. It was simple to do, manoeuvring the bulk of the awning material was the tricky bit.

Getting the glue to melt and then stick was really quite easy and the bond appears to be a strong one. As per the instructions (online, nothing supplied with the tape) I used an iron set to a medium temperature with a piece of grease-proof paper and held it in place for seven seconds. The hard bit was lining up the edges of the torn material and keeping them in place while I applied the iron. Since the rip was in the outer layer I had to feed the tape through the slit, manoeuvre it into place, hold the edges together, and then apply pressure to stop anything moving as I transferred the iron onto it. Inevitably the edges moved apart slightly leaving a small gap. On the second rip I tried to prevent the edges from moving apart by applying masking tape on the outside before ironing and exactly the same thing happened again, except this time I had an almost impossible to remove sticky mark from the masking tape. Anyway, none of this is the fault of the repair tape, which I would thoroughly recommend.

Easy enough to apply and kept my son dry at forest school for 1 day, but adhesive didn't survive a 30 degree wash so will need to start the process again with a better product. See pics -- don't think any will be left if he gets muddy again!

Works very well on seams for porous fabrics, like my pu coated bike bags or tent fabric, but won’t do a good job on goretex-like fabrics, where you’ve a smooth inner layer that you’re trying to adhere to, it’ll just lift off with a bit of wear. Irons on very well, just remember to put a sheet of something like greaseproof paper or similar between your iron and the tape (and remember to put the tape shiny side down).

Easy to use. I used baking paper so that the iron didn't make contact with the swingseat cover I was adjusting.

I bought this because I needed to repair the seam of a waterproof jacket (the "plastic-feeling" type), and the needle obviously punctured the fabric when I stitched it. The tape stuck easily, so I'm hopeful the new stitching won't now be able to cause a leak. It looks just like the original "taped seams", too, and doesn't make the seam any thicker, nor affect its flexibility. Excellent, worth 5 stars! But then I tore another waterproof jacket on a hawthorn hedge. (This jacket is the more "fabric-feeling" type, like tents). Despite repeated attempts with several lengths of tape, the tape absolutely refused to stick - so I now have three lengths of not-stuck tape lost somewhere inside the lining of the jacket, and the hole remained. Zero stars. (I used duct tape instead - perfect! ) Presumably, this tape will only stick to certain types of fabric. The description needs to make clear which ...

I used a small piece of this tape to repair a rip in the sleeve of my unlined waterproof jacket. I "ironed on" the tape using a sheet of kitchen roll to protect the fabric. This worked perfectly without damaging the jacket. The tape is very thin and looks just like the tape manufacturers use to seal seams in waterproof clothing.

Great stuff, so easy to use, better than sewing

Muy mala compra, quería utilizarla para cambiar la cinta de mi casa de campaña ( 2da foto) pero solo despegó un pedacito, el resto se ha quedado totalmente pegado al rollo, no lo recomiendo, lo malo es que ya había quitado toda la cinta a mi casa de camping :/

We used it to make our curtains shorter in length. Worked out pretty well!

J'ai changé toutes les coutures de ma tente 6-8 places avec grand vestibule. L'opération m'a pris 3 rouleaux et environ 3 heures. Comme surface de travail, j'ai utilisé une couverture de déménagement sur une table pliante de 6 pieds, dont la texture moelleuse permet une adhérence uniforme. Il faut un peu de pratique pour manipuler et placer la bande correctement, mais une fois bien appliquée, elle colle bien à la toile et scelle la couture. Il me reste à la tester sous la pluie, mais les premiers résultats sont très prometteurs.

I used this successfully to re-seal tent seams and to seam seal bike bag rain covers that were not factory seam sealed. It makes nice professional looking water-tight seals on all seams using the household iron you probably already own so it is a cost effective way to improve your new outdoor equipment or keep existing equipment waterproof longer. Installing this helps if you have experience sewing and using an iron. The key is to practice on a scrap of fabric and develop a feel for how much heat to apply. You need enough to adhere it to the fabric, but not to much to melt it. Follow the instructions in the description using an ordinary household iron at medium to medium high heat. I found putting a thin scrap of cloth between the iron is an effective and readily available substitute for the material recommended as a heat shield for the tap. Using the front tip of the iron, work one small section at a time working away from where you previously taped so you don't melt tape that hasn't been adhered yet. You know it is adhered properly when it changes from semi-opaque to completely transparent in all areas. Sometimes you may have to go over an area again especially when working on seams that are hard to get at.

This product comes with no instructions so you have to go online to figure it out. It's not sticky. It has to be heated to work. only one side sticks so don't buy if you need it to mend like two-sided tape. The tip of the iron on medium high works well and very quickly to activate it. Make sure you put the correct side down. I suggest using parchment paper between tape and iron. It works well if done correctly. Too bad they don't include instructions. The product looks sketchy upon recieving it.
