Review on ๐Ÿงต Tear Mender 16 oz Bottle: Instant Fabric and Leather Adhesive (TG-16) by Carla Anderson

Creates a strong permanent bond to denim and leather

Burn holes in jeans caused by welding sparks. Instead of constantly buying new ones or ruining the next pair, he cuts a piece of denim and tapes it over or under the holes. It is permanent and will not break in the washing machine and dryer. I've used it to repair upholstery and join other heavy materials that need a quick fix or can't be sewn together. It's very thin and runny like water, so it's very easy to get into unwanted places. Try to avoid getting it on carpets, nice towels, or anything made of fabric that you don't want to cover with brown gum pulp. When drying, it does not become transparent, but turns into an elastic, brown-beige, latex-like material. Overall, it's pretty ugly and doesn't look very pretty on anything. I got it everywhere including carpet and towels. I also ruined an expensive purse, a pair of socks, and a faux fur pillow. Things I didn't even know about were only in danger because they were too close to my splice. It's almost impossible to get it out and I've never managed to remove it completely. I've also had terrible results with transparent, delicate, and light colors, so I wouldn't try it unless there's a hidden area to test first. This is an amazing glue that definitely does its job and holds things together. I love this stuff and use it all the time, but I definitely make sure to clean everything around the work area so nothing sticks that shouldn't.

Pros
  • DURABLE HOUSEHOLD REPAIR: Forms a strong and permanent bond to fabric and leather that is waterproof, flexible and UV resistant
Cons
  • Ultra thin
