TEARMENDER FABRIC - FAQ
Q:
What do I do if it spills?
A:
Immediately saturate the item with water, then try solvents. Make sure to spot
test first. Another option would be to take the item to the dry cleaners after
first saturating with water.
Q:
Is there anything that removes Tear Mender™ once it is dry?
A:
Some of our customers have told us that Detachol™ and Unisolv™ have been
helpful to them. These are products that are used to remove bandage adhesive,
and can usually be found at your local pharmacy.
Q: It bled through the fabric of the item I
was trying to repair. What went wrong?
A:
The first thing to consider is your method. How are you applying Tear Mender™?
You should NEVER pour Tear Mender™ directly onto the fabric, as this will most
likely cause it to bleed through. Instead, first pour a small amount onto a
hard, finished surface (like a table or counter top) and then use your finger
or a knife blade to apply a THIN coat of Tear Mender onto the item. Remember,
when hemming with Tear Mender™, apply to the HEM SIDE ONLY. We always recommend
spot testing first on a small, discreet area of the item to be repaired to
ensure best results. Also, a little goes a long way, so be sure to use only
what you need. Make sure to look over our "goof-proof" instructions (included
with your purchase of Tear Mender™, and also on the "Directions" page
of this web site). They are your best resource for successful Tear-Mending!
Q: I used Tear Mender™ on my son's/daughter's
Scout Patches, and they didn't stick. What happened?
A:
Tear Mender™ has saved a lot of moms a lot of time (and sore hands) when it
comes to applying patches. However, if the patch you used has an iron-on
backing, the backing must first be broken or cracked in order for Tear Mender™
to do its job. Just as it will not stick to your kitchen table or any other
finished surface, Tear Mender™ will not bond to an intact iron-on backing. If
the backing is cracked or broken, Tear Mender™ can bond to the fibers of the
patch itself. Also, be sure to apply Tear Mender™ all the way to the edges of
the patch to ensure that they will not curl up over time. Please note that you
can still use the same patch as before, just prepare the backing as described
above.
Q:
How can I tell if Tear Mender™ will work on a certain fabric?
A:
Always spot test in an inconspicuous place on the item to be repaired. Make
sure to follow our instructions that pertain to the type of repair you mean to
do.
Q:
What won't Tear Mender™ work on?
A:
Tear Mender™ will bond anything it can penetrate. However, it will not harm
finished surfaces such as tabletops or the finished side of leather. Tear
Mender™ works best on natural fibers and on many synthetic fabrics. The smooth
nature of nylon fabric requires use of a "sandwich" method (a patch
on the inside and outside of the repair area) as long as cosmetic appearance is
NOT crucial. This method yields a visible yet functional repair that restores
the item to full use.
Q:
I used Tear Mender™, but it doesn't seem to be sticking. What's wrong?
A:
Tear Mender™ is a natural compound. Although an uncommon occurrence,
deep-freezing can alter Tear Mender's composition (causing it to separate into
a kind of "curds-and-whey" appearance) and therefore can affect its
performance. Much care is taken with the manufacturing, warehousing, and
shipment of Tear Mender™ to ensure that deep-freezing does not occur. Has your
bottle been left or stored in a place where freezing is possible? An easy
at-home test is to rub a small amount between your fingers. If it DOES NOT rub
off into little crumbs, your Tear Mender™ has most likely been frozen. If the
test proves that freezing was not the problem, be sure that you are following
the instructions included with your bottle to make sure you are applying Tear
Mender™ correctly.
Q:
How can you remove Tear Mender™ from dog's ears?
A:
Many dog owners have told us that Detachol™ and Unisolv™ have been helpful to
them. These are products that are used to remove bandage adhesive, and can
usually be found at your local pharmacy. Detachol™ in particular has been
widely used in the dog market for years.
Q:
My Tear Mender™ won't pour out of the bottle. What's wrong?
A:
First, remove the cap and check to see if there is a "plug" of dried
Tear Mender™ at or near the opening of the bottle. If so, remove it and the
remaining Tear Mender™ should pour out just fine. A useful tip is to store your
bottle either upside down or on its side to prevent the plug from re-forming. Remember,
all adhesives have a shelf life. Tear Mender™ has a shelf life of at least 2
years - plenty of time to get your mending done!
Q:
Where can I buy Tear Mender™?
A:

Buy" page of this web site. There you will be able to find store-finders
and links for online purchase (where available). If you are still unable to
find a retailer, please contact us and we'll be happy to help you. Please refer

several of the retailers listed on the "Where To Buy" page of this
site.
