Tear Mender is a milky-white latex liquid that, when applied to fabric, makes\u00a0&#8212; voila!\u00a0&#8212; instant patches.<\/p>\n<p>It smells a little cheesy, but dries within minutes, and has allowed me to extend the life of jeans, coveralls, jackets, and shirts nearly indefinitely. I have garments decades old that have little of the original fabric showing, with odd clumps and scraps of denim plastered all over them, and I wear them proudly.<\/p>\n<p>The recently re-branded Tear Mender is cheap to buy, lasts a long time, and scores a win whenever I use it. Great stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Better than iron patches? Yes. Holds much better. Never comes off and easy to add additional repairs. If you&#8217;re careful, you can make &#8220;neat&#8221; patches, or you can make very strong patches that aren&#8217;t so pretty.<\/p>\n<p>You can wash Tear Mender\u00a0&#8212; over and over and over. I haven&#8217;t had any problems with skin sensitivity issues. Tear Mender does remain rubbery and &#8220;grabby,&#8221; so I wouldn&#8217;t use it to mend my boxers.<\/p>\n<p>Tear Mender is also great for laying out sewing projects: it\u2019s like tack-welding metal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glue for clothing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[41],"tags":[1350],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3727"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3727"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3727\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38155,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3727\/revisions\/38155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
