TEAR-AID Vinyl Repair Patch Kit Type B — 3 in x 5 ft Clear Roll with Oil‑Resistant Adhesive for Inflatable & Marine Vinyl

TEAR-AID Type B is a clear, tough vinyl repair patch roll designed to permanently seal holes and tears in vinyl and vinyl-coated materials without glue or sewing.

When a tear appears in an inflatable, boat seat, camper awning, or vinyl jacket, you need a repair that bonds to vinyl’s oily surface and stays flexible. TEAR-AID Type B patches are formulated specifically for vinyl and vinyl-coated fabrics: an abrasion-resistant elastomer film with a specialized adhesive inhibitor that resists the oils in vinyl and maintains a durable bond. The kit includes a 3 in x 5 ft roll you cut to size, alcohol prep pads, and illustrated instructions so you can complete the repair quickly and confidently.

How does TEAR-AID Type B hold to vinyl surfaces?

Most adhesives fail on vinyl because plasticizers and oils migrate from the material and weaken the bond. Type B uses an adhesive system with an oil-inhibitor that prevents that softening, producing a long-lasting attachment that resists peeling and turning gummy in heat.

• Adhesive engineered to block vinyl oils and plasticizers
• Expands and rebounds to absorb impact without separating
• Maintains tack in high heat—won’t become gooey

What kinds of damage and items can I repair with this roll?

TEAR-AID Type B is made for vinyl and vinyl-coated goods only. It works on punctures, small tears, abrasion areas, and as a protective film over worn spots. Use it on inflatables, boat upholstery, RV vinyl, vinyl tarps, vinyl clothing and similar surfaces.

• Inflatable boats, kayaks and air mattresses
• Marine upholstery, seat cushions, and boat covers
• RV awnings, vinyl tarps, and vinyl-coated fabrics

How do I apply the patch for a neat, reliable repair?

Preparation and placement are simple: clean around the damage, cut the patch larger than the hole, remove backing, and smooth the film firmly over the area. The kit’s alcohol prep pads and illustrated guide help ensure a clean surface and correct application for a near-invisible, flexible repair.

• Clean surface with provided alcohol pads; dry completely
• Cut patch from the 3 in roll to extend at least ½–1 inch beyond damage
• Apply from center out, press firmly to remove air and ensure adhesion

Will the patch stay clear and resist aging outdoors?

Yes—TEAR-AID Type B is made from a matte-finish elastomer that is see-through and UV resistant, so it won’t yellow quickly and blends with most colors. Its abrasion resistance and flexibility mean the repair moves with the material and remains discreet over time.

• See-through film minimizes visual impact on colored vinyl
• UV-resistant to reduce yellowing and discoloration
• Matte finish limits glare while preserving flexibility

Who is this for: TEAR-AID Type B is ideal for boat owners, RV and outdoor gear users, repair technicians, and anyone who needs a durable, flexible repair for vinyl or vinyl-coated materials. Keep a roll at home, in your boat bag or RV tool kit for fast, reliable fixes that avoid expensive replacements.
