FiberWeld Permanent Repair Cast 2x36 Inch - High Strength Adhesive Fiberglass Wrap - Black, 38236

I'm actually shocked how well this worked.The entire pedal arm of my Elliptical machine cracked. It's 15+ years old, and just came apart at the weld between the pedal and the axle. I really didn't think this would work, but someone recommended I try it, and the part is impossible to replace 15 years later, so it was this or the whole machine goes in the landfill.I read the directions, and followed them perfectly, which it is clear from some of these reviews that not a lot of people did. I wrapped it, pulling and stretching it tight, and then wrapped it with the temporary bandage over top - it refused to stick because I had mistakenly gotten it a little wet with my wet hands. So I put a zip tie over the whole thing, and 5-7mins later, as per the directions, I removed both the zip tie and the bandage. I let it cure for a couple of hours before testing it on the Elliptical and to my shock and delight, it's good as new. It's held up great ever since, no sign of trouble. Thrilled to not have to replace an entire machine for thousands of dollars, thanks to this little wrap!!

Great product and easy to use. Restored my favorite cracked shovel handle back to its original strength

Great to repair tool handles!Be careful during application as it is very gooey and sticky!

Repaired a leg on a bamboo outdoor chair. Much easier than I expected. And it feels like hard wood afterwards. It sanded and I painted it to match, it looks great.

used this on metal mop spin handle. hANDLE bent, used this.

Fiberweld acquired this product from Fiberfix a few years ago. The first year they just changed the dimensions. After that they drastically reduced the quality and strength of this item. What used to be a fairly solid wrapping, is now a horrendous sloppy mesh. Imagine making paper mache art in elementary school, layering sopping wet blobs of newspaper and glue onto an art project. This stuff is basically the same, and only a little stronger. The ends are frayed and strings unravel from them. It cant grip anything to save its life, and unravels as you wrap farther up whatever you're fixing. The old after-wrap plastic strip that used to be included was replaced with a sort of stretchy fabric. This fabric piece folds over on itself horribly, and the fiberglass part foams and bubbles up like that spray can insulation foam. That traps the fabric wrap. If you take it off before a certain time, the fiberweld loosens up, ruining your project with a weak bond. If you wait too long, it bonds to the fabric and you cant take it off and it's now permanently part of your project. There is no perfect inbetween time, it's one or the other. The gloves included are also horrible, too small and they break too easily. I'm not some novice at this product either, I've used it and its predecessor probably close to 100 times.Absolutely do not purchase this product unless Fiberweld discontinues it and brings back the old one. I ordered the automotive specific ones to give them a try, but last time I did that they sent me these ones instead and I returned them. The white one is a little better, it has all the same flaws but not to the extremity of this one.

The lever on my recliner broke, and there does not seem to be a way to replace it. I used this repair tape to make it good as new. The wet tape is a little messy but other than that it works great. I have used it for tool handles as well, and they are as strong as new. Excellent product

To be fair, this appears to be intended as a repair to round handles on hand tools. It's probably easier to use for that then what I used it for.I used it to repair a crack in a plastic car door inside panel. The crack was where there was a 90 degree bend in the plastic and it had cracked for 8" of the bend. This was not quite what I was expecting. It was really messy. The fiberglass was not very pliable and was saturated with the black gooey epoxy. I had to cut it into pieces to make it fix the need. Cutting the gooey fiberglass was messy. THen had to soak it in the water, then had to lay it down on the plastic and make it conform to a 90 degree bend. It was VERY slick and not very sticky for the first 5 or 10 minutes. I had to keep pushing the stuff back down into position and it would slide around while I was doing that. As it started to set up so it would stick to the plastic it also started sticking to my fingers (the gloves). So I'd push it down to conform to the plastic but when I lifted my fingers up it came up with them. I finally put a double layer of paper towel over the stuff so it would stop sticking to my fingers. I was finally able to get it to stay down and conform to the plastic. When it was cured it did stick pretty well and looks like it will work. It would probably have been easier to buy some plain fiberglass tape and mix up some regular jb weld then coat the plastic with the JB and push the fiberglass tape into the regular jb weld. I did a second repair on the panel that was similar. The issues were the same but since it was the second time doing it, it was less frustrating to have to do the paper towel step, etc.
