Seam Sealing Tape Iron on Patch Repair Gore Clothing Jackets Pants Waterproof Fabric Mending Clothes Textile Adhesive (Grey)

Very easy to apply on a straight seam. Go slow when doing curves. The hood took the most time to complete. I used a sheet of parchment paper between the iron and the seam tape so as not to damage the jacket material. Pull off the old seam tape, cut a replacement piece and iron it on. I didn't clean off the old seam tape adhesive because I would have probably removed the water resistant coating on the jacket. Ironed on the new piece and it bonded with no problem. Some edges in the hood didn't initially bond when initially heated so I just applied heat longer to those areas. Price for the seam tape compared to the price for a new jacket was a no brainer. I should get another 5 years or more out of this jacket. As the other seams start to separate, I'll cut them out and replace them.

I have an Eddie Bauer insulated parka that was too wide in the waist. I took the jacket apart and tailored the torso, but then needed to waterproof the new seams so they wouldn't leak. The jacket's outer shell is nylon laminated inside with a waterproof, breathable layer. I needed to iron the new waterproof tape directly onto the laminate which meant having to be careful about how much heat I was directly applying so as not to damage the laminate. I checked on YouTube first to find directions on how to apply seam seal tape, and most people said you need to use more heat than is recommended. I started out with medium heat plus steam (the silk setting on my iron, hotter than synthetic but cooler than cotton), ironing directly onto the tape and laminate. The tape adhered just fine, but I noticed the laminate was melting in certain places (I tested on a piece of scrap fabric first). I then tried the same thing with a sheet of baking parchment inbetween and was able to melt the tape adhesive without damaging the laminate. All in all, I found the amount of heat to be consistent with how much heat is needed to iron on patches with their own adhesive. I didn't want to try using a towel between the iron as I find that towels usually block too much heat. One thing I had to be very careful about was not to pull on the adhesive to check its adherence. When I did this, it pulled some of the laminate off where they were stuck together. Fortunately, I was able to patch up those small new tears with more tape. Given that the two materials seem to be fused, I'm not that worried about it coming off. I found that the tape went on easier if I did a first pass to just get it lightly adhered and in place, and then a second pass where I applied more heat and pressure and got it to adhere more strongly. If I tried to do them both in one pass, it was easier to accidentally misalign the tape. One thing I should mention is that I used a tailoring ham while I was ironing which allowed me to press really hard on the seam while I was ironing. This probably helped with the adherence. I was concerned that the iron would be too big, but with the parchment paper in place, I really didn't have an issue with the iron being too large or damaging the other materials with too much heat. Hope this helps for those who are working on apparel!

Seems to with quite well. Difficult to get hang of it and you will get glue on your iron, so make sure you clean that well.

I have the grey and the black. My only gripe is that the black is not black, it's not very dark at all. I used this tape to repair some expensive TAD Gear jackets. One of them has a polartec liner and I wasn't sure how the tape would adhere to that, but once I hit it with the iron it glued down to any surface it touched. I set the iron to 3 and applied adequate pressure, nothing crazy, and the tape really seals down to every edge and crevice it touches as long as you heat it up adequately. You can see in the photos how the glue slightly seeps out on the edges, that's how you know you got a good bond. If running multiple pieces apply a good overlap of the pieces and iron them down on top of each other. Take your time, and it's pretty easy. I love the results and only time will tell how long it holds, but from what I see it seems very solidly attached.

This is great, I used it to patch a little hole in my rain pants and now they're good as new, it's been a while and the hole hasn't started leaking at all

This tape really does work. There is a learning curve. Too many variables to make step by step directions for how to use it. Best thing to do is get an article of clothing or material and practice on it that way you get an idea on what setting your iron works best and use parchment paper. But the idea is to use a iron and heat up the tape untill the glue activates and oozes out the sides of the tape. But the tape even works on fabrics you wouldn't think it would. Great for many repairs.

Junk. Followed instructions ironing the tape on at low-medium heat. Initially it looked great (just the the garment’s original taping) but the adhesive started to fail and the tape peeled within 24hr. Washing the jacket with Tech Wash caused some tape to completely fall off. Don’t waste your time and money on this.

Bottom line: There are no instruction with this product. Just a roll of tape in a plastic bag. So here's what you do: set your iron to the wool setting. The "synthetic" setting isn't hot enough. I used this product to re-seal a high end (for it's time) Marmot gore tex technical Shell that was about 20 years old (1998). I washed it recently and all of the original team tape just delaminated and fell off. So I ordered this gore tex tape. Fortunately, I think, there was some adhesive residue from the former team tape left on the jacket's gore tex. Not sure if it made a big différence for adhésion, but it helped probably. The key is to use the wool setting (quite warm) and apply pressure to the nose of the iron. Trust me, to get the tape's adhésive to "bite" your arm will become fatigued if you're doing it right. You should be able to see the stiches of the seam to imprint through the seam tape. Only heat and pressure will permit this to occur. You need to move the nose of the iron about a half inch every 3-5 seconds. Otherwise you'll need to go back over the seam to make sure it adheares. Don't be afraid to get your jacket's Gore Tex hot. It can take the heat. However, this roll of seam tape did not provide enough material to completely re-seal each seam on my Marmot jacket. It is an atypical, well fitted parka with lots of seams -- especially on the Hood/neck and the sleeves to allow a climbing helmet and lots of movement in the sleeves. Most "normal" rain jackets would be well served with this roll of seam tape... probably with some leftover. That's it. Good luck! I opted for re-taping the seams and using Nikwax DWR to revive an old jacket rather than buy a new one.

Great product. Works well. Could do with being supplied with instructions, but I worked oily out with a bit of trial and error. Extended the life of my Goretex jackets and trousers.

This stuff is great. As another reviewer noted, use the wool setting on your iron, apply pressure with the tip of your iron, and move slowly. I put a layer of parchment paper in between the iron and seam seal tape so any little glue squeeze out doesn't get on the iron. Move the iron along in sections, maybe 3-4 inches at a time. If you have a mini roller tool, you can use it to keep rolling and applying pressure on the seam after you remove the iron, so the glue has pressure on it as it's cooling. When the glue is hot, if your seam isn't completely flat (like a felled seam), the tape could bubble up, so it's important to keep pressure on the seam for about ten seconds after the iron is removed. You can also apply pressure with a blunt spoon or something. The seam tape has a tiny bit of stretch so you're able to use this on gentle corners. For sharper corners, just cut the tape and overlap the sections.

Easy to use, sealed my motorcycle pants perfectly

A lot of sealing tapes used originally on even high quality clothes are crap. They are insubstantial and prone to deterioration. This product is at an entirely different level. It is incredibly strong, to the point where you could even use it for repair work. And it bonds well, too.

My husband used this to fix inside his coat and he said it did a great job!
