XIWENQUKU1 Roll 65′ Iron on Hot Melt Seam Sealing Repair Adhesive Fusible Tape，Layer for Waterproof PU Coated Fabrics Sportswear Outdoor Gear Raincoat Tent Awning (Clear, 0.78" X 0.04")

I found the product easy to use; short pieces are easier to handle. I was applying to a polyester fabric with a silicone coating on one side. The tape only adheres to one side of that fabric. Also, it was difficult to apply over gathered fabric. It is much easier to use than the brush-on tube product. Both seem to work equally well.

I’ve used similar hot melt seam tapes for clothing tears but those are generally not very heavy duty. This one is a much more robust tape, but with that comes some things to be aware of. The most obvious is that the repair isn’t as flexible as those gauze-like iron on tapes. Usually for outdoor repairs like tents, furniture covers and other items that would not be a disadvantage. I bought it to repair a flag that had caught on part of the pole and torn right at the seam. It was an expensive handmade flag and it was worth repairing so I tried this product. I was pleased that it is more flexible than I expected, enough so that it didn’t affect the way the flag flies in the breeze.The 65 foot roll is enough for many home fixit projects and the price is very reasonable. I would have been completely happy except for one thing, which lost them a star. The tape came with no instructions at all, a disadvantage because the user has no idea which side is supposed to face which way and what temperature iron should be used and for how long. These are important things to know because once you start ironing it on there’s no going back, if you mess up you’ve ruined everything. That is a serious issue and should really lose them more than only one star. It was a tough decision because otherwise the product works as expected and provides a good bond.YES OR NOIf only they would take the extra effort to include a small sheet of instructions they could have earned a five star rating.

I used this successfully to re-seal tent seams and to seam seal bike bag rain covers that were not factory seam sealed. It makes nice professional looking water-tight seals on all seams using the household iron you probably already own so it is a cost effective way to improve your new outdoor equipment or keep existing equipment waterproof longer.Installing this helps if you have experience sewing and using an iron. The key is to practice on a scrap of fabric and develop a feel for how much heat to apply. You need enough to adhere it to the fabric, but not to much to melt it. Follow the instructions in the description using an ordinary household iron at medium to medium high heat. I found putting a thin scrap of cloth between the iron is an effective and readily available substitute for the material recommended as a heat shield for the tap. Using the front tip of the iron, work one small section at a time working away from where you previously taped so you don't melt tape that hasn't been adhered yet. You know it is adhered properly when it changes from semi-opaque to completely transparent in all areas. Sometimes you may have to go over an area again especially when working on seams that are hard to get at.

I bought this to use with PU-coated Nylon Ripstop material. I was trying to waterproof the seams of some stuff sacks. It appears to work well with a flat straight seam, however, don't even think about trying to get this tape to bend around a corner and stay in place. I tried a heat gun on multiple settings, an iron set to nylon with butcher paper between (best method for straight flat seems), and quick direct iron contact followed by immediate pressure with both my thumb and a metal spoon. It's just a disaster. After letting it all "cure" for a day I tested it in the sink. It all just came off around the bottom seams (the bottom seams were like what you would find at the circle end of a duffle bag).Horrible. So frustrated.

De buena calidad

Because it came without directions, I read numerous reviews then watched 3 videos on how people apply products like this. So I went into the project educated on how best to apply it. Still, the adhesion rate was probably 30 percent. I recommend NOT buying this product but looking for other options and reading those reviews, then selecting something with a better success rate.

I ordered a roll and it showed up in a plastic bag, only a bag, no instructions, no indication what it is or how to use it. I suppose they assume everyone knows the best way to use this. Should I use an iron? Is there another tool to use? Perhaps a heat gun?The tape shrivels in the presence of heat and does not seem sticky at all. I would guess one must press it against the fabric, assuming it is intended for fabric, and apply pressure while applying heat and the tape will melt into the fabric somewhat. Is this tape good for waterproof connections? I don't know yet. Will it stick to any surface? So far it sticks to nothing.Update after my mini iron showed up and I was able to test pieces. Tape is terrible. Hardly any adhesion to any fabric I used. It adheres, barely, but it takes no effort to remove the tape. It would absolutely not hold up under any actual use. Again, not sure what the actual application is here but I don't see ANY application. There are no directions. How much heat should you use? Is it made for a specific material? How long should you apply heat? SHould you use something over the tape while applying heat? NO IDEA because they don't tell you. Garbage as far as I am concerned.

One of the best experiences I’ve had using a product that required some effort on my part. Though instructions are not provided with the product, they are provided in the product description on Amazon. All I needed was an iron (medium heat), a sheet of tissue paper (used in gift bags) and the ironing board. This is the best, and most economical, solution I have found to repair a small tear in my polyurethane car cover. Using about 8” of this product saved me over $300 replacement cost. I am beyond pleased…and have a lot of the tape left. I am actively seeking other items to use it on!
