Performix 61Z09 VLP, Liquid Vinyl Repair, Clear

Product is of a thin consistency and comes out of tube with minimal pressure. Be careful when applying or you’ll end up with more product then you expected. The product dries pretty quickly (30 min. ?). The used this product to seal a crack in a automotive padded vinyl armrest. The VLP dries to form a clear but shiny patch over the crack. A little dupli-color vinyl spray paint took care of the shine. There is still a dimple where the repair is. I’ve filled the dimple with a paintable latex caulk and will paint once that drys. I expect the repair will be difficult to see once finished. Also repaired hole about the size of a quarter in the seat bolster. While not perfect, it’s a lot better than a hole. I stuffed the hole with a piece of black leather and coated it VLP. I like this stuff! Again, not perfect but what it does, it does very well!

It did exactly what I wanted! Just read and follow instructions.

I used this item to repair a 35 year old car dash and I must say that it has done the trick, And for the money spent it was well spent. filled in the long cracks that I had on my 1973 VW Dash. And they don't make that dash new so I was quite pleased to be able to fix the old one. Not difficult to use either.One not is that I would recommend doing so in another season than Summer though; it was difficult for the product to set up and took slightly long than the product directions due to the extreme heat of the Southwest

This stuff is amazing for vinyl repair for my tonneau cover on truck bed. After using it as instructed could not even see terror had 2 tears measuring 12 inches were more and repaired it flawlessly from underside

UPDATED - unfortunately I do not suggest using this product for seat repair or applications where the item will be subject to lots of use/movement. The product becomes brittle and cracks again though the edges appear to stay bonded. The cracks started to happen after the first season of use...this update is much later than original post. It still can be a viable fix for other applications.ORIGINAL - Good stuff! Worked as described. I used fiberglass mat + VLP glue to repair my riding lawnmower seat. Use sharp scissors on the fiberglass mat and be gentle w/ the cut pieces to minimize it's edges from separating/fraying.IMPORTANT: VLP sets up quickly, so preparing your surface and plan of action for application is important for best results.APPLICATION PROCESS I USED FOR REPAIRING VINYL SEAT1. Cleaned up tear edges using a razor blade since the final repair would be covered by fiberglass cloth2. Cut small circular section of vinyl at the ends of each tear to help mitigate the crack's progression. A paper hole punch may do the trick if you can get it under the vinyl. I used the tip of the utility razor blade to make approximately 1/8" diameter cuts. The key is to ensure it's a continuous cut to not allow another rip to start.3. Cut fiberglass mat to match tears leaving 1/2-1" margin on each side of tear4. Apply VLP to seat tear area using Popsicle stick including glue to cover the area covered by the mat5. Apply fiberglass mat to area quickly and work into the VLP glue w/ popsicle stick while adding a top coat of VLP. Be sure to cover the edges of the mat completely with VLP.6. Pull off any straggler pieces of fiberglass mat to ensure a smooth finish. Be mindful of the length of the fiberglass pieces you pull so as not to make the fraying worse. Adding more VLP may be a better option to get the fiberglass to lay down in some instances.6. Let dry for specified amount of timeBest of luck.

fix a seat on at snowmobile and it worked great.

Didn’t work as advertised. A waste of my money.

I had a huge rip on a vinyl upholstered kitchen booth seat/bench. I found an extra piece of the fabric and placed it under the rip and then applied the Performix repair adhesive. I used masking tape like the instructions state (every inch or so) and I also had to weight the fabric down with some hand weights being careful not to adhere the weights to the fabric. I let this set up until the next day (24 hours) and you couldn't rip it apart if you tried. It's strong. The only thing I don't like is it dries shiny/glossy, but I'm gonna try to sand it to see if that helps. Please note this is not an "invisible" repair. You have a very noticeable (and shiny) seam but it's better than duct tape, better than recovering the whole thing. For a cheap, easy fix ... not bad. In the right light, looks pretty good. I'ill try to remember to post a picture. I should've taken a before picture though.

I had a baby finger hole in the seat. This as you can see fixed it perfectly. I’ve not tried it in the cold yet but so far looks like a perfect fast fix. Leave it for 2 hours and it’s mint

Used for an XL towable tube. Worked very well, both to close a small hole and to patch a large tear (we cut patches from another tube). It was a bit difficult to spread on the larger patches but cures very strong.

Works better than any other glue I found purporting to work with vinyl. Need more time to see how it stands up to weather over time.

Great product. The best I know. Good price and service

Just used it and it will probably hold in a low use area. Leaves a shiny film that won't go unnoticed.
