How To Repair A Tear In Vinyl

[@Thereisariver-y3b]

After cueing the two side together l would fill the remaining gap with silicone and after heating with a blow dryer paint with appropriate colour paint. But you have applied the basic principle correctly. 👊🙂👌👍

@@Thereisariver-y3b Thank you for your comment and suggestion! While using silicone and heat can sometimes be effective for certain types of repairs, this type of repair was to demonstrate how tears can be fixed without silicone and heat, ensuring long-lasting and professional results by using the correct glue and tools. We always appreciate feedback and are glad to hear that you found the principles we shared helpful! If you have any further thoughts or questions, feel free to share.

Genius. Thank you.

[@LarsSeifert-c3m]

Very informative. Could you do a similar video with a leatherseat or explain the difference in the process. Thank's for your videos.

[@LarsSeifert-c3m]

A better way i think, is to use a two part adhesive that you apply to the underside of the vinyl, and to the material you're going to place under the split. Wait for the adhesive on both the vinyl, and the material to dry, which takes about 5 minutes, then place the material under the split, and using a Tefalon sheet, gently heat the area using an iron. The heat will reactivate the glue, and set within 20 seconds. A very strong and quick repair, and if you do it right, there's virtually no sign of the split/repair.

@@trytellingthetruth.2068 there are so many different methods you can use. But when the clients states what they want we deliver what they want. The client is king, if the client is requesting something that isn’t achievable then we will advise them if this. We could even go one further and spray on grain if this client wanted that.

@@LeatherRepairUK Absolutely right 👍

Great video - exactly what I needed. I have a small tear just like this on the side of a vintage car seat (Morris minor vinyl) that I want to repair. Can I ask what the backing material that you used is? Is it just another piece of vinyl or something else?

[@LeatherRepairUK]

@@life952 it’s a polly cotton

[@hillcountrylivin]

[@Matt24-4]

What's the tatoo for?

[@makenzie6351]

Thanks for the video. How can I do this if I can't get the edges to line up? It's vinyl that cracked and separated

[@LeatherRepairUK]

@@makenzie6351 I would suggest sending in an email asking for help and guidance how to fix this damage, tell them your looking for help how to fix this send to [e-mail]

[@heinz6344]

I guess, it's a MG B GT backseat?

[@salsanjazz4388]

For leather is it the same process using the heat?

[@LeatherRepairUK]

@@salsanjazz4388 yes the heat cure fillers and the heat iron same process there are videos on our channel about leather

[@nickloong]

The golden question is how durable these forms of repair are?😅

[@LeatherRepairUK]

@@nickloong very durable indeed, we have thousands of clients around the globe who are happy several years after a repair is carried out. It’s about meeting customers expectations.

@@АндрейКириллов-ъ1ю sorry we don’t follow what you saying

[@HenryTefft]

Omg just buy a seat cover😮

[@nefas11]

Omg you’re such a genius!!!

[@larrywicks3374]

It will just split further it will soon show through the seat cover. Then it will cut through the seat cover. But it sounds good.

[@AlCatrraz]

I would use some glue on the bottom side of the piece of backing to anchor it permanently…. Or two sided sticky material… Overall, GOOD SHOW! as you say over the pond..

[@jackspratt44]

I just stitch stuff up and use super glue.
