DiapermanAl Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I tried a swimming pool repair kit and liquid stitch. But no luck with either. Link to comment
Sticks Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Walmart used to carry a product that was called Blue Magic, a waterbed repair glue, found in bedding supplies. Link to comment
Hookedondiapers Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Kins sells a repair kit. I have also had decent results with an "as seen on TV" leather & vinyl repair kit. Link to comment
kevindhca Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 The repair method will differ depending on the material. For vinyl, clean the area to be patched and the back of the vinyl patch, with acetone. Most patch failures are due to lack of cleaning. Use caution, acetone is very dangerous but a very good cleaner on vinyl. Gloves and good ventilation are essential. Don't use vinyl gloves. Apply vinyl glue, some are just called flexible plastic glue, be sure glue is larger than patch. Apply patch firmly, rolling out all the air bubbles, let dry for 12 hours. Rubber can be patched like a tube with rubber cement. Might be a bit tough to find the right colour patches. I've never tried to patch PUL. I'll have to look that up. Link to comment

More than half the stuff I have I got for free because it had a little problem that needed repair. Fixed it for a fraction of the product cost. Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) You want the material to be thicker than 3 or 4 mil Cut a patch of matching material a bit bigger than the tear Get some GOOP Marine which is Silicone based and good for several materials including rubber. You can also try any of the GOOP specialty items like Shoe GOOP or Plumbers GOOP (for PVC pipe) but Marine is good for chemically harsh environments like salt water. GOOP has a fairly pasty consistency that thickens as it sets and dries. it is flexible when dry and fairly strong Put a thin layer of GOOP on the patch and around the tear or come-apart seam Whit about 5 minutes then put the patch in place and press firmly all over the patch Let set for about a day Whether it will work that way for dog bites I do not know.You might try just putting a glob of GOOP in each small hole and letting it set for 7 or so minutes than hand-working it more fully to fill and cover the tooth holes like putty Or, you could get Rubber Fairy to fix things. But I am certain that she would want to try them out by putting them on you and making you wet to be sure they are fixed Edited September 13, 2015 by Christine Daryleanne addition Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) At the price you pay at some of the places, upwards of $30 USD vs getting a large tube of Marine GOOP for under $10 USD, a piece of material, Edited October 6, 2015 by Christine Daryleanne Link to comment
