Heat Insulation Silicone Repair Mat, Large Silicone Repair Mat for Soldering Iron, Phone and Computer Repair, Heat Gun, Electronics Repair Disassembly (17.79''×11.69'') - Blue Review:


This mat caught my attention on a YouTube video because I thought it could be a little easier to use than the cutting mat I've been using for years. Simply put, it is! With a consistent color and no silicone bubbles, the quality is excellent and the pricing is fair. The soldering iron remains unaffected after being placed on top of the mat. The raised sides of the trays keep screws and other objects from rolling off the table, but they could be a little bigger (a big plus). One minor oversight is that some of the trays have Chinese and English labels. Along the bottom border is a metric ruler as well, which would be quite helpful IF you could see it. It is scarcely discernible even with two work lamps, reading glasses, and a jeweler's loupe.Overall, it is an excellent bargain and a nice addition to any home or office workspace, in my opinion.



PVC Stitch |PVC Waterproof Glue| #1 Adhesive Caulk for PVC, Vinyl (inflatables Boats Swimming Pools air mattresses Waders) Neoprene (Wetsuits) Polyester (Tents) Cords, Goretex & Other Outdoor Gear Review:


Once you get the hang of it, it's simple to use; incredibly flexible and holds pressure when thick. Simply avoid thinking of it as glue. It is a patch that doesn't need additional patching supplies. Neoprene-like elastic properties exist.Apply thickly with good margins, clean the work piece thoroughly, have everything ready before beginning, and work quickly. For roughly an hour, don't mess with the task in progress.It quickly peels, allowing for a small amount of off-horizontal application. However, I advise applying horizontally and letting the liquid settle naturally rather than overly distributing it with equipment. I discovered that, if necessary, this patch can be applied in stages, spaced roughly 5–10 minutes apart.repaired an air mattress and a pool vacuum hose (layered). Similar to what you would get from small amounts of plumbing PVC Cement, solvent fumes were not a concern.



Complete Repair Kit for Canvas Tents, Pop-Up Campers, Tarps, Marine and Boat Covers | with 6oz Tear Mender Glue, Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl/Needles, Over 6 Sq Ft of Canvas and 30 Yards of Waxed Thread Review:


This was bought to fix some dry rot damage on our pop-up camper. The directions are quite simple to follow, however they lack photos. YouTube has videos if you like to watch things visually. I haven't yet used the needle because the adhesive is so great! After cutting my patches and liberally glueing both surfaces, they have so far held after three setups and takedowns. The only thing that can be a problem for certain people is that the adhesive dried in some spots a dark orange colour. Not a problem for us, but going forward, I would be more cautious with excess. An excellent item all around to have on hand!



AIRHEAD Vinyl Repair Kit Review:


I was SO DISAPPOINTED when these first arrived. They were far thicker than I had anticipated, and I doubted they would function. I needed to patch some holes in the seam of an air mattress, but I didn't think these thick patches would penetrate the seam and seal the hole. It turns out that they are functioning FANTASTIC. Although the glue could be packaged more effectively to make it less messy, these will work and are reasonably priced.



Nordtown Down Jacket First Aid Repair Patch Kit Self Adhesive 16 Colors Review:


I discovered a tiny tear in the elbow of my Columbia winter coat, which I had hoped would survive another year. When I used a patch from this kit, it worked great during the winter months leading up to spring. Although it blends in well, it is not invisible. I am aware that I shouldn't dry the coat in a hot drier. The extra patches are a wonderful backup so this coat will endure through yet another season, however I don't see why this patch couldn't last another year.



KENYON Ripstop Pressure Sensitive Repair Tape Review:


It's funny how this box of nylon repair tape/patch looks. This box seems to date to the 1980s. Although the design does not look like it belongs in the 1980s, the actual box has been kept in a warehouse ever since. However, the product itself, a roll of ripstop nylon mending tape, is in good condition. I was looking for a navy blue alternative because there aren't many available, and I didn't want a large black or pink repair patch to match my puffy jacket. Even if you may sometimes not even see the patch in certain lighting conditions, it still blends in. Although the patch is apparent in the shot because of the angle I chose, most of the time it blends in so well that it is virtually undetectable. The roll is a large rectangle, but I divided it into tortoise-shaped pieces to give it a better appearance. If you desire, I urge you to use this approach (draw the shape onto the back and then cut out before removing the backing). Simply avoid choosing a design with abrupt corners or lengthy, thin parts. I also used an alcohol swab to properly clean the area before applying. This repair has been in place for a few months and is still strong. If it starts to peel off, I'll update this rating, but for the time being, I'm really pleased with the repair and it was incredibly easy to apply.
