TEAR-AID Vinyl Repair Patch Roll Type B — 3 in × 5 ft Clear, Oil‑Blocking Adhesive & UV‑Resistant

TEAR-AID Type B is a clear, flexible adhesive vinyl repair patch roll designed specifically to permanently fix tears and holes in vinyl and vinyl-coated materials.

When a ding, rip, or puncture appears in boat seats, inflatable toys, vinyl upholstery, or coated fabrics, you need a durable patch that bonds to vinyl’s oily surface without softening or failing. TEAR-AID Type B uses an abrasion-resistant elastomer with a specially formulated adhesive inhibitor that resists vinyl oils, so the bond keeps its grip, stays clear, and won’t turn gummy in heat or sunlight.

How does TEAR-AID Type B actually stick to vinyl reliably?

The adhesive on Type B includes an oil-blocking component built for vinyl’s plasticizers and surface oils. That prevents the common adhesive breakdown that makes ordinary patches go gooey and peel. The elastomeric patch also absorbs and redistributes impact force while returning to its shape to maintain integrity on flexible surfaces.

• Adhesive formulated to resist vinyl oils and plasticizers
• Matte, abrasion-resistant elastomer that won’t crack or tear easily
• Conforms to curves and seams without restricting material movement
• UV-resistant and clear—won’t yellow over time

What sizes and kit contents come with the Type B patch kit?

This kit includes a 3 in × 5 ft roll of clear TEAR-AID material that you can cut to any shape with scissors, plus prep and instruction items so you can complete repairs quickly. The roll format is handy for repeated small repairs or creating larger patches by overlapping pieces.

• One 3 in × 5 ft roll of clear TEAR-AID Type B patch material
• Alcohol prep pads for surface cleaning before application
• Illustrated instructions to guide proper surface prep and installation
• Compact box sized about 3.75" × 3.75" × 3.75" for easy storage

Which items should you repair with TEAR-AID Type B, and what should you avoid?

Use Type B on vinyl and vinyl-coated fabrics only—think marine vinyl, inflatable vinyl toys, outdoor cushions, and coated covers. Do not use Type B on non-vinyl surfaces like nylon, neoprene, rubber, or leather; those require different TEAR-AID types or adhesives.

• Ideal: boat seats, vinyl cushions, inflatables, vinyl tarps/coated fabrics
• Not for: fabrics that are not vinyl (check material type before applying)
• Performs in sun and heat; will not become gummy in high temperatures
• See-through finish keeps repairs discreet and color-agnostic

Who is this product for? TEAR-AID Type B is designed for boat owners, outdoors enthusiasts, repair technicians, and anyone who needs a fast, long-lasting repair for vinyl goods without sewing or glue. It’s especially useful for people who want a discreet, UV-stable fix that preserves flexibility—handy for emergency field repairs, routine maintenance, or keeping gear in service longer. The roll format suits both DIY hobbyists and professionals who make frequent repairs.

How to get best results: clean the surface thoroughly with the included alcohol pad, cut the patch slightly larger than the damage, apply smoothly avoiding trapped air, and press firmly; allow bonding time per the instructions. With proper prep and application, TEAR-AID Type B provides a tough, non-yellowing repair that moves with the material and resists wear.
