XIWENQUKU 1 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 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.

This product comes with no instructions so you have to go online to figure it out. It's not sticky. It has to be heated to work. only one side sticks so don't buy if you need it to mend like two-sided tape. The tip of the iron on medium high works well and very quickly to activate it. Make sure you put the correct side down. I suggest using parchment paper between tape and iron. It works well if done correctly. Too bad they don't include instructions. The product looks sketchy upon recieving it.

Our boat cover had some worn spots. I sewed some but this iron on tape adds reinforcement from the bag so hopefully the spots don’t get bigger or run.

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.

No instructions in the box... Had to read other peoples' reviews for advice on usage. Tried 3 applications with increasing levels of heat. The tape looked great at first, let it cool for a bit, and every time the fabric moved, the tape immediately began peeling up at the corners and came off with almost no effort. Don't waste your money.

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!

I bought this to seal a home made Gen2 Silpoly tarp and it would not stick. I went as far as placing the tape over the seam and liquifying the tape using heat and it still did not stick. Two stars because it would stick to some fabrics in some cases if I put a lot of work into it. This stuff is super finicky. I was able to get it to reliably stick to (new, unused) Cordura nylon on the uncoated side but sometimes it took quite a bit more heat than other times. It would mostly stick to the coated side of the Cordura but it would easily pull off in some places and not pull off at all in other places I tried the tape on PU4000. It worked pretty well but PU4000 is out of style now and difficult to get. I don't know what this stuff is inteded for but I don't recommened wasting time trying to get it to work on any critical gear unless you're willing to spend a lot of time applying it and testing for functionality.

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 NO If only they would take the extra effort to include a small sheet of instructions they could have earned a five star rating.

Muy mala compra, quería utilizarla para cambiar la cinta de mi casa de campaña ( 2da foto) pero solo despegó un pedacito, el resto se ha quedado totalmente pegado al rollo, no lo recomiendo, lo malo es que ya había quitado toda la cinta a mi casa de camping :/

We used it to make our curtains shorter in length. Worked out pretty well!

J'ai changé toutes les coutures de ma tente 6-8 places avec grand vestibule. L'opération m'a pris 3 rouleaux et environ 3 heures. Comme surface de travail, j'ai utilisé une couverture de déménagement sur une table pliante de 6 pieds, dont la texture moelleuse permet une adhérence uniforme. Il faut un peu de pratique pour manipuler et placer la bande correctement, mais une fois bien appliquée, elle colle bien à la toile et scelle la couture. Il me reste à la tester sous la pluie, mais les premiers résultats sont très prometteurs.

excellent, saved a 30 yo waterproof Hawkshead cagoule type coat from being thrown out. Very easy to use product .

Bought to replace the failing waterproof tape strip on the inside of an awning. Good value for money. The tape arrived on time but with no instructions for use. However, we used it on the same principle as the tape used for taking up trousers. Stretching the awning roof across the ironing board, we used our iron on the wool setting and with a cotton pressing cloth & firmly ironed it into position. Then used a little wallpaper roller to make sure it was firmly pressed into the seam while still warm and continued across the awning roof. It takes a bit of time and patience. Little tip: on large items like awnings make sure you have sufficient space around you to manoeuvre the item into position before ironing. Also remember which is the right side of the tape! All is well so far, the true test is when it’s next used in the rain. It was simple to do, manoeuvring the bulk of the awning material was the tricky bit.
