"* The description for this product is so vague, I wasn't sure if it will work. And it did not - it just does not even stick to vinyl. Duct Tape has more tackiness than this!"
"I've used this to repair holes on an old Kelty external frame pack, and they've held for years... I cut a small rectangle piece to just fit over the slice, then I cut a larger round patch to go over that, making sure to cover all the corners of the first patch... As long as you apply it firmly and press out any little air bubbles, it's barely noticeable once applied since it's clear."

"* I used the tape to patch a whole in my fabric roof to my 350Z tape is great. The folding from putting the roof up and down will wrinkle and peel tape though. So it's good for material that does not move."
"Although I was impressed to hear that someone used Tenacious Tape as a "30 year solution" on a tear, I have personally found this tape to be sadly and wholly ineffective. Appearance wise it looked ok and it was easy to use, but it didn't hold for more than 2 DAYS... If you plan to purchase this tape for mending tears in any type of clothing, I would not be confident in recommending it; another method would probably work better, based on my experience."

"I've used this to repair holes on an old Kelty external frame pack, and they've held for years... I'm here to buy more, because I just recently used the last of it to patch a cut in my heavy duty commercial vinyl lawnmower seat. I cut a small rectangle piece to just fit over the slice, then I cut a larger round patch to go over that, making sure to cover all the corners of the first patch... If you're able, cut the final patch round in shape because corner are more likely to get snagged and peeled up... As long as you apply it firmly and press out any little air bubbles, it's barely noticeable once applied since it's clear. The finish is somewhere between matte, and shiny so it's great for a wide variety of applications, but I love it for vinyl and nylon repairs... That way any loose or frayed material will be stabilized from both sides providing a more secure permanent patch."
"* I was on trail about 30 days this summer, I used this to repair EVERYTHING. My quilt had a rip and the down was coming out, tenacious tape to the rescue I almost tore the cinch cord clean off my tent stuff sack one morning, tenacious tape to the rescue My hiking partner accidentally ripped the mesh ceiling on her tent, tenacious tape to the rescue I found a small tear in my inflatable lantern, causing it to unintentionally inflate during the day, tenacious tape to the rescue My trail runner got a large tear near the toe after I got too close to a sharp rock, tenacious tape to the... well, it couldn't fix this one, but it stuck much better than duct tape! And even after all of that, I still have 1/4 of the roll left. Now, understand you aren't getting a ton of tape... But it's definitely enough for those small tears, splits, punctures, etc... it's holding up fantastically after 20 days of additional abuse) and water resistant (a small repair to a hole in my rain kilt has been through the washer four times now) I already ordered a second roll to keep as backup."
"* Ordered this because it was highly recommended by several people... Although I was impressed to hear that someone used Tenacious Tape as a "30 year solution" on a tear, I have personally found this tape to be sadly and wholly ineffective. Appearance wise it looked ok and it was easy to use, but it didn't hold for more than 2 DAYS. I applied it according to a tailor's instructions (and as the manufacturer suggested), yet it just was not nearly as strong as others found it to be... If you plan to purchase this tape for mending tears in any type of clothing, I would not be confident in recommending it; another method would probably work better, based on my experience. An iron-on patch applied with your iron on a very low (silk) setting with a dish towel between the iron and patch may prove to be much more effective... In the meantime, maybe I will find some other less critical situation where this tape would be useful."
