3.0 out of 5 stars Tear Mender - Frabric Cement, June 27, 2009

The product works just as they say. It can be a lifesaver. The only problem is the shelf life of the product - it dries out in the bottle and becomes useless. The 16 oz bottle is not a good size for the average person as it will dry out in the bottle before you use it all. Most tears only use a little of the liquid - if you can purchase a smaller amount then it is worth it - but if you get the 16 oz bottle you will throw away three quarters of the bottle a year later because it dried up in the bottle.

I've used this product for about two years. Unfortunately, even though I kept it tightly closed, the bottle dried up into a big clump of plastic. However, before that I used it on numerous items including lamp shades, jeans, fur jacket, wall paper, etc. It takes a little time to learn how to use it properly so patience is needed here. Once you get it on something, you cannot remove it. However, I'm ordering a new, smaller bottle.

4.0 out of 5 stars as good as you are, November 29, 2008

It's good enough for a bachelor to neatly cuff Levis for keeps. Forget the cap spout; remove the cap and dip glue out on an ice cream stick (from a hobby shop) and dab along seam edge 4" to 6" at a time, smearing along the line and pressing down the edge as you go. Start with cuffs ironed to a crease. 1-1/2 or 2-inch cuffs. Don't soak fabric, just coat it. Follow-up by sealing the cut edges. Wearable immediately. Washable, no problems.
