TEAR-AID Vinyl Repair Roll Type B 3 in x 5 ft — clear, heavy-duty, UV-resistant

This repair roll brings a fast, no-sew, no-glue solution for restoring inflatable boats, vinyl upholstery, tarps, awnings, vinyl clothing and other PVC-based surfaces. The Type B formula includes a special adhesive inhibitor that blocks oils present in vinyl so the bond resists softening, turning gummy, or losing adhesion over time. The patch material is matte, abrasion-resistant, flexible and transparent so it blends with any color and conforms to curves and seams.

How do I use the TEAR-AID Type B roll to fix a tear or hole?

Preparation and a clean surface are the keys to a lasting repair. Cut a patch larger than the damage, clean the area with the provided alcohol prep pads, peel the backing, and smooth the patch over the tear from center out to remove air bubbles.

• Cut patch with scissors to fit; allow 1/2"–1" overlap around damage.
• Use included alcohol pads to remove dirt, oils and residue.
• Apply patch starting at center; press and smooth toward edges to seal.
• Let adhesive set; avoid heavy stress on repair for several hours.

What materials and environments does Type B stick to best?

Type B is formulated exclusively for vinyl and vinyl-coated substrates — not for fabrics without vinyl, silicone, or rubber that lack vinyl oils. It performs well outdoors because the film is UV-resistant and resistant to high heat and abrasion.

• Designed for PVC and vinyl-coated fabrics like boat pontoons, inflatable kayaks, and vinyl upholstery.
• UV-stable formulation prevents yellowing and breakdown in sunlight.
• Resists puncture and abrasion; flexes with material instead of cracking.
• Not intended for silicone, neoprene, untreated fabric or leather.

How durable and invisible is a repair made with this patch roll?

The film is a tough elastomer with a matte finish that expands under impact and returns to shape, absorbing force without compromising the adhesive bond. Because it is clear and low-gloss, it minimizes visual impact while providing long-term protection.

• See-thru material blends with virtually any vinyl color and finish.
• Matte finish reduces glare and visible edges after application.
• Elastic film recovers shape after stress to reduce re-tearing at the edges.
• Aggressive adhesive creates an immediate bond without sewing or messy glue.
