Tear Mender Instant Fabric and Leather Adhesive, 2 oz Bottle-Carded, TM-1, White

So, it feels and looks like Elmer's Glue (what'd you think I was gonna say?) and works like a dream! I usually buy the fabric tape that you have to iron to activate. That stuff works but it's a pain to cut all the strips of tape and hope they stay in the right spot when you put the joining fabrics together and start ironing. So this fabric adhesive was a nice surprise. It did get a little messy when I pinched the joining fabrics together and the adhesive/glue would go thru the fabric and get on my fingers. But it was easy to clean off. One nice thing about this adhesive is that it made it very easy to mend tears that were close to seams. I had a butt pocket on some jeans that was shredded just enough that my phone would fall thru the hole. But it was right down by the seam of the pocket, which is why I hadn't fabric taped it...not enough room to put tape down and iron on a patch. This adhesive made it possible to glue on a patch right next to the seam. I've washed the pants several times since putting the patch on and it has held up nicely and doesn't feel weird or stiff as you might think glued fabric would feel. I've been very pleased with this fabric adhesive and how easy it was to use.

This is my second bottle of this stuff. The first one was basically useless: What came out was the color and consistency of skim milk, and didn't adhere *anything*. I wouldn't have tried it again except that I noticed when the bottle was empty it was heavier than expected, so I cut it open and found a big, sticky plug of white goo. I figured maybe one of my kids had left it partially open by accident, so I gave it another shot and boy am I glad I did. This bottle emits a thicker, tackier liquid that bonds denim, cotton jersey and every other fabric I’ve tried. I’ve even taken to repairing beloved, well-worn jeans with patches from an old sheet. (Don’t judge. I use them for yard work, home repair, car maintenance and painting. And maybe Zoom calls where no one can see under my desk.). It even survives multiple trips through the washer and dryer. Just make sure to shake well before using and tighten the cap fully when you’re finished. Good luck and keep those jeans alive!

This does work very well. Used it to repair jeans. Mine and my hubs contractor pants. We're both very hard on jeans. It doesn't take much product. I've used it to patch, haven't tried it to do hems or anything. Very liquidy so be careful b c ones it's on something....its on something! Gets tacky kind of like rubber cement but holds very well! Washed the patched pants numerous times. So far my patches, which were the trial run, have been on for at least 4 or 6 months, with washing and drying. However, it dries a kinda transparent yellow color, like rubber cement. So where I put the patch inside the jean behind frays u can see the tint on the frayed threads and they look dirty. For us and dirty work it's no biggie but most people don't want the dirty looking spot. So make sure u only put the adhesive where there are 2 solid peices being joined. I did try it on thin nylon type pants of his, like the summer weight wrangler type and it's OK but thin material seems to show the adhesive marks and is a tad stiff where the glue is. Not like super glue hard. But a bit noticeable if it had been a larger patch. I only docked it the star b c it doesn't dry clear.

I’m really disappointed with this purchase. I bought this glue less than two months ago and hadn’t even opened it until this morning. When I finally went to use it, the glue was completely dried up and unusable. I did pull glue out of the bottle for photo and to see if it was the whole bottle, it was.On top of that, the seal was stuck inside the lid. For a product that was never opened and is still well within a reasonable timeframe, this is unacceptable. Total waste of money.

I used it to mend a strap on my saddlebags that was almost torn off. I knew it couldn't be replaced so I bought the Tear Mender. I applied it and used duct tape to hold the piecees together. It really worked to seal the strap. NOTE: make sure you close the bottle tightly. You don't want it to leak out.

This product CAN work, but it isn't the miracle cure we all want this kind of thing to be (so maybe it deserves more than 3 stars?). I had a tear in a fairly new winter coat and attempted to fix it with Tear Mender. This was a tear in the outer layer, and I wasn't sure how well this product would stick to the fabric. I decided to follow the instructions for mending nylon fabric and first glued a piece of cotton cloth to the inside. This worked, but the glue is much thinner than expected and kind of ran all over. In the end it DID fix the tear, but ended up being a bit more messy than I anticipated and my patch jog was incredibly visible. The other issue was that because this product is pretty runny it soaked completely through and I ended up gluing the pocket closed. Thankfully I was able to pry the pocket open, but that resulted in the undoing of my patch work. I will definitely try this again after I remove some of the glue from the first attempt, and I think it will be much more successful the second time. For first time users I would recommend that you squirt some of the glue onto a paper plate and use a Q-tip or tooth pick to apply it. Also, their claim is completely true as far as it being easily removed from skin.

I've heard about this item for years. Decided to try it and I was not disappointed. Great product. Thank You Gary Sullivan. I heard about this on your Saturday morning Brosdcast. John from Bardstown Ky.

One bottle fixed about 3 pairs of work pants that had blown out knees. I save my tore up jeans and use the back of the pants to make a double knee patch.

I was looking for the best fabric glue on the market. The seam of an outdoor beanbag was continuously being breached by polystyrene beans. I was tempted to throw the beanbag out believing it was not mendable as it is used by my daughter as a crash mat. Totally delighted with this product after numerous fails of other glues. It helps to peg or clamp the fabric together during adhesion but once set is both transparent, strong and flexible. I have not yet tried to machine wash it but great value for money if the product replacement cost is greater than the price of the glue.

El pegamento ofrece unir diversos materiales en pocos minutos, lo he utilizado en piel y tela con grandes resultados, tiene gran resistencia de fijación y seca muy rápido.

Super Qualität. Robust Langlebig und Reißfest.

I have a one complaint ,, when I purchase this first time , That time time i get the only half bottle glue like 30 ml and second time i get the full bottle,, I can’t understand how is it possible.... this is the biggest question for Tear Mender Company.... If we are trusting on company product and giving the best rating, Than please do the faithful buisness with us ....

J'ai acheté cette colle pour "rectifier" une oreille mal mise de mon am staff de 4 mois. La colle a bien tenue environ 1 semaine et cela a suffit pour remettre l'oreille comme il fallait. Elle n'a pas eu de réaction allergique, les poils ont repoussés en dessous donc je suis satisfaite. Le prix est par contre un peu élevé pour l'usage fait mais le principal c'est que cela fonctionne sans faire de mal au chien...
