Tear Mender - TTB-6-D-B Instant Fabric and Leather Adhesive, 6 oz Bottle, TG06H

I've been using this product for years. It works well for gluing fabric together. It will repair rips and tears but leaves a noticeable glue stain. Can also be used on leather.

This is simply one of the best products you can buy to patch jeans, shirts, or other fabric. I've repaired at least a dozen pairs of jeans - knees, cuffs, pockets, etc. - and given them years more use. I've fixed a few minor tears in elbows and other parts of shirts and even a sweater. I've also used it to apply preventative patches inside the knees of my favorite pairs of jeans as they get thinner but before they tear. If they're done right, the repairs are nearly invisible on minor tears and not easy to see on clean and recent rips. The steps I follow are: 1 - Line up the tear and iron out the fabric so it's flat 2 - Cut a patch out of light but strong fabric (old dress shirts are perfect, t-shirts are too stretchy, denim is too thick) to cover the tear and an inch or so beyond it. 3 - Put a piece of wide masking tape (slightly larger than the patch) over the tear. This will keep the fabric in place and also prevent adhesive from bleeding on the outside of the garment. 4 - Turn the garment inside out 5 - Making sure the area to be patched is flat (lightly ironed again if needed) 6 - Place the patch on the fabric and mark spots around the outside with a pencil or ball point pen 7 - Turn the patch over and apply enough adhesive to spread with your finger to fully cover the patch, especially the edges so that the patch is less likely to roll up over time. 8 - Lift the patch and set it aside, adhesive side up. It may have bled through to the fabric, but this is fine. 9 - Apply adhesive to the fabric and go slightly past the marks. 10 - Let the adhesive dry to the touch, generally around 5 minutes. 11 - Once the adhesive is dry, apply the patch flat on the fabric and press. You won't have much ability to smooth it out if there are any wrinkles, so you may have to fold the edges up and apply first to the tear and then slowly lower the edges working from the inside out. 12 - If there is a lot of latex showing, sprinkle baby powder on it and smooth it in. This will keep the latex from grabbing when you put the garment on. 13 - Turn the garment inside out and peel off the masking tape. Excess adhesive should have been controlled, but there may be some if the tear was larger. Remember to let the adhesive dry before putting the pieces together. I don't think the instructions are as clear as they should be about this and it makes all the difference in the world. I have repairs that are 9 years old that still hold up after repeated washing... I may have to tack a corner down on those older patches, but they go right back on again. This stuff really is amazing. It's hard to find locally as only a handful of fabric stores carry it, but it's well worth trying.

Worked well at mending/ sealing the leather closed. But left a rough and rubbery feel on the spot.

This stuff is GREAT! My husband had asked me to mend a hole in his jeans pocket where he'd worn it through. My sewing machine can't handle denim, and I'm not sure I had the skills to make a patch that he'd be willing to wear out of the house! So, I ordered some of this to try it out. It cannot be easier - just watch the video the product mfg provides. You just shake it well, spread it on both pieces of fabric if it is thick (like jeans), or just one side for thinner fabric. Put them together, and magic happens - it makes a bond that is just as strong as anything you could possibly do. I ended up cutting a patch out of other old jeans that was slightly smaller than his pocket, and gluing it INSIDE the pocket. Yes, you can see the frayed hole, but the pocket is back to better-than-original condition for holding his stuff (ranges from billfold to tools to phone). He liked it so much he asked that I line the pockets of his other work jeans too, before they wore through, because the pocket was so much stronger. I love this stuff, and will always have it around. Not sure how long a bottle will last after it is opened, but well worth the cost. Note for allergy sufferers: I did have to be careful. After the first pocket, I was reading the ingredients better to see if I could glue a cardboard leg back on a cat toy. It has latex in it! I use gloves now when working with it, as I am allergic to latex. (Yes, I was itchy as all get out last time I used it, but never associated it with the glue.) And hint - on the cat bed, I decided to try using a piece of FABRIC between the leg and the bed (one of those cardboard scratcher round beds) - worked like a charm! The leg is back on, strong as ever, and the fabric bonded to the cardboard with this product. It just wouldn't bond cardboard-to-cardboard. I've also used it on ribbons to fabric, and that works great as well.

I don't know why others say this dries clear or is tan/brown. My bottle dries white. If the patch is to be purely functional and you don't care how it looks, this works well. If you are applying something to the surface (a badge, etc.) this would work if one is very careful -- see below. But if it is for an item that you care about, extreme care must be taken when using this to make sure that, when finished, not a single tiny drop is visible on the outside of the garment, or you will have a white splotch. If the fabric is at all open weave -- even a normal cotton -- you have to be really careful and only use a tiny amount or it will bleed through. If the fabric is at all sheer, this doesn't work at all. I have found no way to remove excess from fabric once it touches, even if I try to remove it immediately. The product is very thin and liquid, so the squeeze bottle top is useless; you just can't control it enough. I pour some out and use a toothpick to apply to the fabric. Again, use absolutely the smallest amount and thinnest layer you can, or you risk having it bleed through. If you get bleed through or have any excess showing, I have not found any way to remove it from the fabric. A lot of my clothes are black, and I have done some adequate touch up with a Industrial Sharpie (which is different from a regular Sharpie) but it would be hopeless with any other color cloth. I would never use this for anything that could be done with a needle and thread (hems, etc) simply because there is too much risk of bleeding through. However, there are those things (tears, etc) where this is the best option, but be very careful. Despite the apparent per oz. cost saving of the larger bottle, it probably isn't worth purchasing. You only use a tiny amount per repair. The container says it is best to use within a year of purchase, and when I recently opened the container, which I have had less than a year, there was a blob of solid latex filling the top half of the container. I did pull it out, and there was liquid below, which I used, but I don't yet know if that remaining liquid was viable. It seems to have held, but it's been too soon to tell if it will last. And, when pulling out the congealed latex, it really made a mess, so if I ever try that again I will do it at the bottom of a deep sink or bucket.

Works, Good stuff

I make fursuits (mascot costumes) and cosplay and this stuff is my go-to for a longterm, sturdy hold on Polyurethane foam! Easy to apply, sets pretty quickly, and creates a bond so strong, it'll rip the foam before it rips the glue. It also leaves the glued area a little flexible, making for a clean edge. Texture: Very runny, thin, and wet when it comes out. It can get messy; Be careful not to get it on your clothes cuz it aint coming out. MakeSURE you close it as soon as you apply it, cuz it WILL dry out and gunk up the ip. That said, it's very easy to clean the nozzle and get it off your hands. It dries rubbery, quite quicky and you can roll it up, pinch it, or rub it right off. TIP: When applying to polyurethane foam, run a line along both sides you want to adhere. Lightly dab them together just to spread the glue around the surface (Cuz it will absorb quickly if you don't). Let it air dry for 5-8 seconds, then hold your two pieces together with MEDIUM firmness. Too hard, and you'll flatten out your foam, and it'll look pinched and weird. You'll know you're pressing too hard if you can feel the wetness of the glue seep through the foam to your fingers. If you've done this, just pick at the foam to reshape it before it dries. Quickly. Just press the two edges together enough that theyre clearly making contact. Hold it together for about 15 seconds, depending on how saturated your surfaces are. A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY. You do NOT have to drench your foam. Too wet, and it'll adhere weirdly, and you'll lose the softness of your surface. If you dont press hard enough, the glued sides won't adhere. Test it first, get used to how runny it is, keep track of your cap, make sure youre not etting it gunk up.If so, use a tooth pick to pick out the dried rubbery globs.

This works, HOWEVER there are important things to know. It's more watery than you think and hard to control. It will also, even when dried, be visible on almost any fabric, so don’t apply more than you need. If you are trying to repair a visible tear, I recommend this approach. Set up the fabric in position, held in place with removable tape on the other side. Do NOT try to apply directly from the container! Put some onto a paper towel or something else disposable. Then, using a toothpick, carefully apply it, in minimal amounts, along the tear. You can always add more as you work, but you will NOT be able to recover from applying too much. Once it’s on the fabric, wiping can only help a little. Any extra will be there forever.

I use it to glue tennis table rubbers because is latex based and is very easy to remove the glue from rubber.
