    Cheers, handy video. I bought some tape ages ago to fix a cut across the knee of my overtrousers and then moved house and totally forgot about it. Just recently dug it out and saw the thing about using an iron and thought I was going to be destroying the surrounding area! Will give this method a go

    Now our problem is that we don’t have any waterproof clothing!! (Just big coats for when it’s under 0 degrees) - if you’d have asked me how to fix it - I’d have said duck tape! Thankfully there’s folks like you who know better - thanks for the info and love the waterfall pic in your living room!! Great video and happy Easter x🍻

    I'm trying to be more conscious about what I buy and be more ethical, although a little bit difficult when there isn't a lot of choice.

    HI , I dont know if somebody already mentioned that you can iron the tape on (best would be)cushioned piece of plank the thickness of the tape. Of course the plank is held upright . In this case you only have tape on it minimizing possible burning of the fabric .

      @o.bsoutdoors3871  Год назад

      Hi There,
      That is a great idea and would offer the gortex added protection, all i would say is to be careful that the glue doesn't melt onto the fabric during the process and end up glueing the fabric to the repaired seam.

    Thanks - any guidance on sealing up a rubberized jacket - sleeve has torn off the back half while riding a motorbike. Any idea if this type of tape will work with the rubber coating?

    • @o.bsoutdoors3871
      @o.bsoutdoors3871  Год назад

      Hi Mark,
      This type of tape would work on the inside of the fabric. But you would need a specialist contact adhesive and repair strip for the rubberised outside. Good luck, and thanks for watching 👍

  • @paulwary

    I wonder if it would work to heat the tape separately over non-stick baking paper, then apply it onto the seam while its still hot.

    • @o.bsoutdoors3871
      @o.bsoutdoors3871  Год назад +1

      Hi Paul,
      That might be tricky as the tape needs pressure applied as the glue melts and it is fixed to the garment,so it could be messy if all of the glue is already melted. But best of luck if you decide to give it a go👍

      Hi there,
      Thanks for your question. Unfortunately,
      I have only ever tried this on gortex material or its equivalent. I have no experience with Neoprene, so couldn't guarantee this would work. However, as the tape is such a cost-effective solution, i would recommend giving it a go! Good luck,
      And all the best👍
