Chemical mending products can be very instrumental in saving cloth, leather and fiber articles. Some can be very quickly applied and some are very easy to use. It is best to look at cloth mending chemicals that remain soft in all temperatures, chemicals that can be washed and ironed, and chemicals that are resistant to heat and cold. The mending chemical you choose should be colorless so the chemical does not impart its color onto the fabric being mended.
The typical application method for chemical mending products is to join the tear together and apply the mending chemical to back side of the tear. The tear, with the mending chemical applied, is held in place for a few minutes and that is all there is to it.
It is best to thoroughly read what each mending chemical manufacturer has to say about their particular product to obtain the best results. It is a good idea to always try a chosen chemical in an inconspicuous area prior to using it in an exposed area.
