## Description

Product Description Bish's Original Tear Mender Instant Fabric and Leather Adhesive utilizes a powerful formula, the quick drying adhesive instantly adheres to any material it can penetrate, forming a waterproof bond strong enough for use on work clothes, awnings, tents, boat covers, tarps, leather, convertible tops, and more. Features: water-proof, permanent, quick-dry, flexible, UV resistant and acid-free. From the Manufacturer Val “The Bish” Cismoski originally formulated Tear Mender in 1932. His nickname was a result of his imposing physical presence and his knack for having an answer to any and all questions which family members said reminded them of a Bishop. Tear Mender’s impenetrable bond quickly made it a staple in the farm industry and was used to repair canvas drive belts for farm machinery. Today, Tear Mender continues to provide the same flexible, permanent bond and is widely used for a multitude of tasks from garment care to crafts. In 2015, Lighthouse for the Blind, a 501(c)3 non-profit, acquired the assets of Tear Mender to further grow their mission of providing employment for individuals who are blind. The Tear Mender product line is filled, packaged and shipped by employees who are visually impaired.

Review: This bonding agent really WORKS! - I used it to mend a strap on my saddlebags that was almost torn off. I knew it couldn't be replaced so I bought the Tear Mender. I applied it and used duct tape to hold the piecees together. It really worked to seal the strap. NOTE: make sure you close the bottle tightly. You don't want it to leak out.
Review: Tear mender. Buy it! - I've heard about this item for years. Decided to try it and I was not disappointed. Great product. Thank You Gary Sullivan. I heard about this on your Saturday morning Brosdcast. John from Bardstown Ky.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a Nike dry fit sweat shirt that the lettering is peeling off of. Will this work for that kind of application?**
A: Yes, Tear Mender will work with this type of application, however be very careful when applying the adhesive as "less is more".  Do NOT use too much and do NOT put the glue on the fabric from the bottle.  Make a puddle of glue about the size of a nickel on a hard service and use your index finger as the applicator.  Dip your finger in the adhesive and lightly apply to the underside of the lettering and the shirt itself, making sure to only apply to the area that needs to be glued.  Tear Mender dries beige so you don't want it to applied any larger than the area that needs repaired.  Tear Mender is non-toxic so it won't harm your skin and it will stretch with the material.  Good luck!

**Q: Lookin to plug a pin hole on a nylon  down jacket. Not going  to patch, just cover the hole. Anyone  try this yet?**
A: I suspect it would work, you'd have to fold the nylon over a little bit to make it cover the hole since the liquid is thin but this stuff works on pretty much everything.  I patched my son's jeans and then decided to try to rip the patch off as a test (because the iron ons always peel off) and the jeans ripped around the edges of where the tear mender patch was.  Basically - you're going to rip anything BUT the tear mender, you need this stuff.

**Q: Use this to glue a patch on the theigh area of a pair of jeans?**
A: I never tried using it for a patch, but I was disappointed using it to mend a tear. You would be better off using a patch with a glue backing that is meant for jeans and iron it on.

**Q: I am repairing a crack in a vinyl purse. Can i build this material up in layers to fill in the crack as some of the vinyl is gone. Thanks! Carol**
A: My mother tried repairing a leather purse and the substance was just liquid. It did not work at all even after multiple layers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great, but doesn't dry clear.
*by K***H on December 15, 2024*

This does work very well. Used it to repair jeans. Mine and my hubs contractor pants. We're both very hard on jeans. It doesn't take much product. I've used it to patch, haven't tried it to do hems or anything. Very liquidy so be careful b c ones it's on something....its on something! Gets tacky kind of like rubber cement but holds very well! Washed the patched pants numerous times. So far my patches, which were the trial run, have been on for at least 4 or 6 months, with washing and drying. However, it dries a kinda transparent yellow color, like rubber cement. So where I put the patch inside the jean behind frays u can see the tint on the frayed threads and they look dirty. For us and dirty work it's no biggie but most people don't want the dirty looking spot. So make sure u only put the adhesive where there are 2 solid peices being joined. I did try it on thin nylon type pants of his, like the summer weight wrangler type and it's OK but thin material seems to show the adhesive marks and is a tad stiff where the glue is. Not like super glue hard. But a bit noticeable if it had been a larger patch. I only docked it the star b c it doesn't dry clear.
