ABOUT

Tenacious Tape Roll by GEAR AID is an all-purpose repair tape that fixes rips, holes and tears on both fabric and non-fabric surfaces. The Tenacious Tape Roll is unique in that it offers 5 feet of repair tape for longer tears or seams on a dispensable roll. In addition, the clean-adhesive technology allows you to remove or reposition the repair tape during the first 24 hours without leaving behind a sticky residue. Try that with duct tape.

APPLICATION

We recommend the following for application:

1) Begin by cleaning the repair area with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dirt or body oils which may prevent a good bond. Trim any loose threads.

2) Cut out a patch with rounded corners that will overlap the repair area by at least 1/2'' in all directions.

3) Apply the Tenacious Tape patch over the rip, tear or hole.

4) Smooth out any bubbles and ensure the edges lay flat. The adhesive will reach full strength after 24 hours.

5) For large holes, repeat the above steps on the opposite side of the fabric.
