Product Description
Use Tenacious Tape to fix holes and tears quickly on technical and synthetic fabrics including vinyl, nylon, rubber and plastic gear. It’s a peel-and-stick, weatherproof repair tape that’s washable and won’t peel over time. It sticks to jackets, tents, and tarps; staying put no matter what Mother Nature dishes out. Instantly make a tent repair with Tenacious Tape in ripstop nylon or clear tape for a barely noticeable solution. Tenacious Tape also comes in a tough, flexible nylon fabric strip for jackets and other camping gear. Do not use on cotton or natural fabrics. For inflatables and sleeping pads requiring heavy duty fixes, use puncture-resistant Tenacious Tape Flex Patches. When outdoor gear gets ripped or torn, Tenacious Tape will handle it – allowing you to stay outside longer.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I just received it and patched up the pleather covered arm of my desk chair which was starting to rip.
"Pleather" (or "faux leather") is basically vinyl painted onto canvas. Too much stretching or scratches/abrasion just peels off the vinyl coating leaving you with canvas peeking out.
This tape is perfect for it, but need some care to apply.
I got black and it has a nice semi-gloss finish that blends perfectly with the pleather and matches it well for feel and flex. It's basically thin (but tough) nylon with a super strong adhesive. Nylon similar to what you'd find on an umbrella, but thin.
You need to prepare everything before you put it on because you don't get a second chance; if you put it on pleather then try to pull it off you'll just remove the vinyl coating from the pleather. So you need to measure and cut it perfectly. Fit it to the area with the backing still on, pushing and squeezing to simulate whatever's going to happen to the area when you're done. The padding was sagging on my chair's armrest (causing the tears) so I used to tape to firm it up a bit structurally. Works great.
This tape sticks like nobody's business; once it's on - it's ON!
The tape has almost no stretch, just a tiny amount of give, so fit and placement are your main concerns.
If my repair wasn't on a rounded chair arm it would be perfect; going round the curve created a slight fold, so not as perfect as a nice, straight, flat area would be, but pretty good for an $8 fix to a $150 chair.
The finished job is flexible and waterproof. The semi-gloss finish makes it almost undetectable. Seems like it will last the life of the chair.
Maybe it's the thrill of getting something done during the lockdown that's been waiting for my attention for months, but I love this product. Expensive at 8 bucks for a 3" x 20" piece of tape, but worth it for my use. I guess paying a mere 8 bucks to actually get something done these days is a review inspiring event!
Now, on to the filing!
My situation is a pair of pricey Asics running shoes, used for running for about a year, then as day to day sneakers after that. Each shoe developed a hole near the grand toe area and the pinky toe area, 4 holes total. (Am I happy with the shoes? Whole 'nother story.)
This is a strong and well made product with good glue on it's back. But expecting glue to stick to the cloth/nylon fabric of a running shoe is probably being a bit too optimistic. Mine started partially peeling off within two or three weeks, and eventually I got tired of seeing it half hanging off, so I pulled it off.
However, I had also managed to apply these patches around the holes, from the inside of the shoes at the same time. I didn't expect them to stick, but here I am several months later, and the ones on the inside are still holding strong (whereas none of the ones on the outside held.) Good news though, between dirt/dust/etc., the little patches of the sticky part that are exposed through the holes (remember, I'm talking about the patches stuck to the show from the inside) get coated quickly, so it's not the case that the exposed area is sticky to the touch now that it's on the shoe.
I'm not quite ready to say this was a bad product. It's more a case of being realistic with your expectations.
