Tear-Aid Type A Fabric Repair Pack
Original price was: 13,89 €.12,50 €Current price is: 12,50 €. excl. VATTear-Aid® Type A
Tear-Aid® Type A fixes just about any sort of fabric or material except those made of PVC or vinyl, or any products with a PVC or vinyl coating such as sou’wester coats used in the sea fishing industry, where the repair needs to be carried out on the coating side.
The Tear-Aid® patch is semi-transparent (or semi-opaque), meaning that it will blend in well with any surface, whether it be black, white, coloured or even transparent.
If the surface is printed, such as with a logo, this will still be visible after the repair.
If the repair needs to be completely transparent, then a heat gun (or failing that a powerful hair-dryer) should be used to carefully warm the patch once it has been applied. Maintain the heat until the patch becomes fully transparent. Do not overheat the patch as this will cause it to wrinkle and come away, meaning you will have to start over with a new patch.
Instant adhesion
Our Tear-Aid® Type A patches rapidly form an extremely strong bond with whatever material you wish to use them on.
In fact, the patch will be 90% bonded within just 10 minutes of its application – and 100% bonded within the hour. Heating the patch, as described above, also reduces bonding time.
For instance, the time it takes to repair a bicycle inner tube with a Tear-Aid® patch (no glue needed), refit the inner tube and blow up the tyre to its usual pressure, is normally sufficient for the patch to bond to the rubber or latex inner tube and let you continue your journey!

Cut, Peel, Stick!
Fixing stuff with Tear-Aid® is – almost – child’s play.
But all the same, some very simple rules need to be observed if you are going to achieve a neat, clean, barely visible and strong repair.
But don’t worry, every pack we sell comes complete with an extremely comprehensive instruction leaflet that outlines not only how to carry out the perfect repair, but also how to handle the stuff that most tapes cannot cope with, including instant underwater repairs and corrugated aluminium ducting repairs!
Sounds simple? You'd be right!
What we can tell you here, before you commit to buying our product, is that everything relies on the condition and the preparation of the surface or material you need to repair, prior to sticking your Tear-Aid® patch into place.
Because if you skimp on the cleaning and degreasing, or if your item is just – well – totally beyond repair, your patch will just simply… come away, leaving you to start over.
Or maybe it’s just time to invest in new gear?

Technical
fabrics
We have tested Type A with all of the fabrics we mention and have listed here for your information. It is important to note that mentioning these fabrics does not in any way suggest the owners of the brands and trademarks mentioned (and which we hereby acknowledge) have endorsed the use of Tear-Aid® with their products.
The same goes for products that feature in photos we have taken and used on this website.
Finally, we welcome your feedback on new materials you have tested, so we can add to this list and thus help others.
What doesn't stick?
However, Tear-Aid® will not stick to everything, so you may need to test your material beforehand. Some more obvious examples are felt-like materials, wool, waxed cotton jackets and teflon.
Applying patches to the silicone side of fabrics that are silicone-coated to make them waterproof, is also a problem as the patch will come away, taking the silicone with it.
If in doubt, test the material either by purchasing a Tear-Aid® test kit (available here) or by cutting out a small piece of patch you already have, and applying it to an area that will not be readily noticable, making sure of course that you observe the application instructions provided.
If after an hour the patch can be readily removed, or it bonds only partially, then you will need to find an alternative solution.
So why choose Tear-Aid®?
- UV-resistant, the patch will not discolour or become brittle over time when exposed to sunlight.
- Easy to cut to shape and size using scissors.
- No sewing necessary.
- Stops tears from running or getting worse.
- No messy liquid glues to apply.
- Will not turn gummy at high temperatures.
- Stretches and springs back to shape without losing any grip.
- Once cured, will continue to function normally between -30 and +60 °C.
