Comments about TEAR AID Fabric and Inflatable Repair Patches:
This product is truly easy to use. I have used this product on an air matress and a dinghy have have been impressed each time I have used it. You might think that something that "just sticks" to the surface would not get the job done but it really does work! If you can adhere the product to the inside of an inflatable, you are doing even better! This stuff does not let go...just make sure the surface is VERY clean.
Pros
- Durable
- Easy to assemble
- Performs well
- Stable/seaworthy
Cons

Purchased a package a year ago. Still holding up strong. Picked up a couple more packages this winter to apply over some worn spots to give my seats a little more life. Follow the instructions and it goes on great. I really like the product.
