Review: Bye bye leaks. - I was a bit hesitant to purchase this but wow! It really works. I have found different use cases in our house and so far, this doesn't fail. It can be used even on flexible materials like repairing your hydration backpack bladder. Adhesive is strong, material is tick, great product.
Review: 5-STAR Air-Mattress Repair - This stuff works amazing for my particular application. I have an air mattress and it got a few holes in it. I took a freshly sharpened pocket-knife and removed all the fuzz around each hole till it was shiny (meaning carefully rubbed the blade *very gently* against the mattress at a 45°angle to remove the vinyl fuzz till it looked like the bottom of the airmattress just shiny)[I did this while it was already inflated so that I could properly apply a small amount of pressure so that I did not damage it more/or make the hole bigger]. *Tip* be sure to make sure that you also make sure that you carefully get the entire area where the patch will be applied. I cleaned the area thoroughly with a huggies sensitive care baby wipe. While it was still slightly damp I cut an appropriately sized patch (follow the directions on the package). I made sure to press on the patch starting at the center and rubbing it firmly in place ensuring there were no veins and bubbles. I have never had any of the patches I put in place leak EVER. I swear by this stuff the key is to use it properly. There was like 5-7 steps but each step is to ensure you prime the area properly and you will never have to check it or re-apply it my husband has even spilled soda and such on these patches and not a single patch has ever given me an issue. Ps if you had the proper sandpaper gradients you would not need to use a sharp knife I just didn't have it on hand. These patches will even survive the roughest of love-making without an issue 🤗 lol. If your patch comes off you did one of two things 1 you did not remove enough fuzz or 2 you did not clean the area well enough after fuzz removal. Good luck and use it properly. If applied improperly it will NOT work.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used to tape rope onto a raft as a handle?**
A: Thank you for your question! We would not expect the tape to work in this application.

**Q: Will this tape repair tears in a pvc material with polyester reinforcement and uv coating?**
A: Thank you for your question! For best results, assuming the material is not solid, the tape should be applied to both sides (under and over) of the tears; however, we cannot say for certain how well and how long it will hold.

**Q: Can this be used with fish?**
A: Thank you for your question! The waterproof tape is not rated for use with fish tanks/ponds.

**Q: Will this tape completely and long-term repair and seal a leak (3/16" long) on a garden hose, when the hose is connected to high-pressure sprayer?**
A: No. I was disappointed in this product. I purchased this tape to repair a garden hose leak and it did not seal off the leak. I had to replace the hose.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good tape
*by D***. on December 9, 2023*

Does stick but seems to not hold up well with condensation. I’m using this to hold a fish tank light in place ( it’s light weight). I do have to replace every few weeks because it comes loose. Regardless, better than anything else I’ve found!
