About Us

TEAR-AID Repair Patches provide a simple and easy method of patching holes and tears, as well as protective film solution. Each TEAR-AID Repair Patch is made from an exceptionally tough, matte finish, abrasion resistant, elastomer that resists puncture and tearing. It is combined with an aggressive adhesive formulated for high bond strength. Tear-Aid expands absorbing force on impact and always returns to original shape and size. This flexibility allows the patch to conform to irregular surfaces without restricting the movement of the repaired material.

TEAR-AID REPAIR PATCHES FOR FABRIC AND VINYL REPAIRS - Extra Powerful Fabric & Vinyl Repair Patch Solution

Vinyls have oils that are absorbed by most adhesives which causes the adhesive to turn gooey, gummy, and ultimately lose bond. Tear-Aid vinyl repair patches contain an inhibitor that blocks the oils found in vinyls resulting in a long lasting repair.

I just used this product to fix an intex durabeam air mattress that I accidentally gashed with a picture frame. The gash formed a slit in the vinyl about two inches in length, and is shown in the photo.So far, here are my observations:1) The box delivered to me was in good shape, but when I opened the box, I noticed that one of the smaller, pre-cut patches had partially detached from the wax paper backing, and adhered to something else in the box. Luckily, I wasn’t intending on using this piece anyways (too small for a two-inch gash) but regardless I was nonetheless able to move the patch back onto its appropriate place in case I need to use it another time.2) The patch material is clear, so the patch becomes less visible when adhered to the vinyl, regardless of its color. This was desirable for my application.3) Comes with two alcohol pads to prepare the application area.4) It has been roughly 8 hours since the application of the patch, and it appears to do a good job of adhering to the vinyl, although I have not yet inflated the mattress as the patch needs 24 hours to cure.Steps taken:I deflated the air mattress on the floor, and pressed the sliced portion of the air mattress so that it was totally flat and parallel with the floor. I made sure there were no wrinkles in the material, and avoided any pleats underneath the damaged area to ensure flatness. I took measurements of the gashed region, and designed a rounded patch shape that exceeded the edge of the slice by about one inch on a computer, printed it out, then taped the printout to the included patch, and used scissors to cut the shape out of the patch material. Then I thoroughly scrubbed the damaged air mattress area with the included alcohol pad, making sure to clean everywhere where the patch would come into contact. I then turned on the fan in the room to help the excess alcohol evaporate, which only took a couple of minutes.Next, I placed my customized patch with the protective backing still on, and moved it until I was satisfied with its placement, making sure to try to keep the edges of the patch about one inch from the tear. Then without allowing the patch to slide, I removed one small region of the protective wax paper on the side of the patch, and pressed it against the vinyl air mattress. I then used a debit card in my wallet as a squeegee, and simultaneously squeegeed while pulling the protective backing off, allowing the patch to remain perfectly flat and aligned during application, and ensuring no air is trapped under the patch during application. When the entire patch had been applied, I introduced strong pressure with my fingers, and also the plastic handle of a pair of scissors to help ensure thorough contact between the surfaces. I went over this multiple times vigorously, making sure that all the edges were also well-adhered.The instructions say that a heat gun may be used to expedite curing time, but I don’t have one, so this technique was not used in my case. The instructions also indicate that the strength of the bond (for the type B patch) asymptotes to approximately its final value in about 24 hours when a heat gun is not used. I intend on inflating the mattress only after at least 24 hours has elapsed, so I will have to return and update this in the future.So far, the solution seems to be working as advertised, although I have deducted one star for the poor packaging that led to one of my stickers partially detaching from the wax paper backing, and sticking to other objects in the box. Luckily, this development did not affect my project, since I only needed the larger patch, which shipped without detaching at all.EDIT:It has been a week since I performed the repair. The repair is NOT a permanent solution, at least for a 2 inch gash. On at least two occasions, I woke up on the mattress when I discovered that the mattress was losing air. For this kind of hole in a pressurized air mattress, the patch stretches as the vinyl expands due to the inflation. This allows the tear to bulge open wider, which allows the vinyl to spread away from its original position, which can gradually cause the patch to peel slightly on the edges. To make matters worse, since the patch doesn’t hold the tear shut, the corners of the tear tend to continue propagating, making the problem even worse. I ended up with the tear spreading much closer to the edge of the patch than I had started with, which ended up causing leaks. In order to reduce the likelihood of leaks, I had to use my fingers to press down on the patch before going to bed every night to make sure to re-establish the bond.Admittedly, This product would probably have worked better if I had made the patch longer in order to account for the tear growing after application of the patch. My leaks always occurred on the left side of the patch where there was no longer sufficient distance between the tear and the patch edge. Also, I could imagine that this product would be adequate for pinhole punctures, which wouldn’t have a tendency to continue spreading open and tearing. I could also imagine that this product could work for a long gash (like the one I have) if a before application, a few stitches were used to forcibly hold the gash closed. Then when the patch is applied over the stitches, it would be the stitches, not the patch itself, that would bear the spreading force. Then the patch would probably be able to do its job of making an airtight seal, which it seems to be quite good at.
