Can this product be used to protect the bottom of pants legs so that they don't fray? This happens to my Dockers often and ruins them. Thanks!

I would say yes, the second time I used the tape was for cargo pants that are too long for me. It held up great, just have to watch the seams, I wouldn't put the tape directly on them.

I think that it really depends on what kind of fabric. I love this tape but when you use it to stick fabric to fabric, sometimes it doesn't hold as well as you would like. I tried to use it temporarily for a pair of pants that needed to be rehemmed and it didn't hold as well as certain fabrics.

It's double-sided tape, so probably not. If you were going to use it to shorten them and hold the hem in place, that would work, but you'd have to change the tape after every washing.

It would be more of a temporary fix for that. You would eventually have to hem them.

Sandra, I got stuck with tape that is not ever usable. I wanted to use it like velcro for my pants withouthemming them and then unstick them when I put my high heels on. This was useless. I'm not sure that it would be strong enough to do what you want.

I wouldn't use this for something that was going to be worn against the skin: the chemicals in this product aren't rated/tested for that kind of use. Maybe try some products from your local fabric store for your purposes.

There is a layer over the trouser leg in the area that would make contact. I think it is to protect the leg from burn, may even protect the trouser as it is pretty think. Looks like Rino lining.

I do not know, however why ruin a perfectly good sock. I think the foot part also supports the leg part and by cutting off the foot part the leg part would not stay in place. My local drug store has some leg compression socks without the foot part.

Seeing as how the skirt part has no heating elements in it, it's safe to discard that part and use only the heated area. I'd hem up the edges to prevent fraying. Otherwise, you have a good idea going there! I've enjoyed my heated pad very much and look forward to once again putting it on our bed for the cooler months!

I put a outside rubber floor mat in the bottom and have never had a problem with the bottom the sides after 3 years are fine but the top if you allow things to run can at the joints become frayed sort of or are the first to wear out, but patching with thread and needle works fine like you would repair any tear ... My next wagon I am going to reinforce. The edges at the joints with cloth patches. Not a big issue though even after 3 years and I use it a couple of times a week! Lots of use ... For heavier loads I made a cardboard bottom ... And for the edges a cardboard bumper for sharpe items .

I would sum up the answer by saying that this is the best armor to protect your shin and your knee that I found on the market at this time. The rubbing spots that I found when I first started using these pads has gone away. It appears that this armor has adjusted to my legs shape so that I do not get any more areas that rub or irritate my skin. I do find it helps to wear high socks so there's less of a chance of any rubbing at the lower strap area.

That's a tough one. My Sperry's are pretty substantial at the back for support. I have used the product on my every day shoes and have luck with the product at the front of the shoe. Have you tried wooden shoe stretchers, along w/a product like this-might work.

Base on my experience in using this product: it would do the job, but not as good as the rubber glue used for glueing shoe sole. I used this product to add suede leather to the bottom of my dance shoe (takes the abuse of using the shoe) but now and then the end or side would become unglue and I just clean it up and glue it back. As oppose to rubber shoe glue it would not have come apart at all. Iron on fabric patch is quite strong done right should stay together after wear and washing. Advantage of this product is - cheaper and don't dry up as quick. And it is advertized for leather... if preparation is done right (good cleaning before applying the glue and must apply good contact pressure until it dries) it should do the job. Specially if not taking the abuse of using it on a dance shoe sole. Hope this help.

Hello these are not made for aquatic exercises. I am sure tho it can be done but the fabric might stretch after this kind is repeated use. It's all about the fabric other than that it is a good product as my wife, daughter and I use it. God bless

I know i am replying to an old question, still worth it if it helps any new parents. I have used a similar product in the past (4 years and counting) and these type of seat protectors won't prevent the "indentations" simply because those have to do with weight. These are for protecting the leather/cloth seats from scratches/tears/scuffs as well as spills.

No, I don't think so. It is a very nice table cover, but it is long, all the way to the floor, so it would interfere with chairs around it and peoples legs. I think it is made especially for a display table. That is what I used it for.

i have not cut mine - the fabric looks like it would fray - there's something called 'Dritz Fray Check' which stops fabric fraying - that might work along the edge

I think they might fray. Would you risk it? How much of an investment is it for you? How about cutting them and apply some kind of silicone compound, spray or with a brush to seal the exposed edges...a clear drying substance that would dry quickly, before affixing them to the steps...just a thought

NO, its makes your leg stiff for protection but can be difficult to run in, I used it to play football, ended up taking them off because of the tightness and immobility it caused. Your better off purchasing a 2nd degree or 1st degree wrap if you want run in them. This is for 3rd degree ankle sprains. Don't get me wrong though there strong and great for it your not doing any physical activity and provide great protection for until you get back to 100%. Best of Luck.

No experience with tearing because I haven't had that problem. However, I am a seamstress, and I'm wondering if there isn't a type of fabric glue that would seal the edges and prevent further fraying. Check with a craft store such as Joann Fabrics or Michaels. Perhaps there are vinyl patches you could apply also.
