Request Information
VLP® is a clear, high strength, tear repair, designed to mend rips, tears and small holes on most types of flexible vinyl surfaces. VLP® is supplied in an easy to use, air dry formula that dries clear and blends with all colored vinyl. VLP® actually dissolves the surface of the vinyl and creates an excellent bond when completely dry. On porous fabrics, VLP® can be used the same as on vinyl but actually penetrates the pores and creates an excellent mechanical bond. VLP® is typically used on vinyl furniture, awnings, tarps, vinyl sheeting, luggage, rain wear, boots, etc. Because of its' bonding and tensile strength, VLP® also acts as a "back up" to sewn vinyl seams when applied to the backside of the seam in production.

Allow 4 hours dry time before use or 1/2 hour and repeat; then allow 4 hours dry time for maximum strength.
