has anyone used it successfully to repair a down jacket?

YES! It's precisely what I bought it for. I burnt the cuff of a Lands End down coat on my snowblower. It's not a perfect match but it's been at least a couple weeks and it's holding up great, and looks ways better than the holes with the down popping out. :) Taking a tip from my physical therapist when she applies KT tape, I rounded off the corners of the piece of tape I applied so there wouldn't be pointy corners to start to pull away first.

I have used it on my down jacket but I notice it works better on smaller tears. On a larger tear the down feathers tend to poke out and you may need to retape it again over time.

I had a small hole in my Patagonia down jacket and I did not want to send it out for repair through them (it can take up to 30 days to get products back from them when sent out for repair). Patagonia suggested that I patch the hole with Tenacious Tape. I took their advice and the patch has worked perfectly. I would recommend for smaller holes/tears. Hope this helps!

It worked for me repairing a cracked worn area on the heal. The repair seems to be wearing well.

I would say no. I just tryed to repair a tear in my convertible top. It originally sealed it then it cracked and split.

I have and it worked great..even did some heavy mesh on it making something for my uncle. It was to put on his car behind his motor home so rocks wouldn't hit his car.

Did you try the patch kit? In the instructions it also says you can use duct tape for a temporary fix.

I used it on a couple canvas Filson jackets. Several treatments each. The results were excellent, but not perfect. I was very satisfied as the treatments made the jackets wearable again.

Sorry, never tried it for patching clothes. Can't give you an accurate answer. Try calling the company/manufacturer.

I have and it worked great. Patched a spot on aluminum boat over the rustoleum and apllied paint again to top coat it. No problems at all

Hi I've used it on a nylon windbreaker, the outer synthetic cover of a sleeping bag and a tent out of parachute material, whatever that stuff is. had to spray it all twice to waterproof it, but no problems whatsoever. hope that helps.

I used it to make a leather cutter blade repair and had to file it to fit. It was harder than a lead/tin solder but I'm not sure it would have the wear qualities you require. It may be worth a try considering the price of the product.

I have not had occasion to use it to sew patches on a leather jacket. I have a heavy duty Singer electric machine, and have not found anything the Janome can't match. You would need a strong needle and a good treadle cabinet and belt. Sorry I'm not of more help.

I had a leather jacket that was 11 years old and had gotten pretty dried out. I had to put a bottle and a half of this stuff on it, but now the jacket is like new and I wear it every chance I get. We live in Colorado, so things drying out is a way of life here, but this stuff really did the trick. I also had an old pair of work boots down at the ranch and they were pretty dried up, but I got this stuff to restore them to working order. They don't look that great due to wear and tear, but they are soft again.

I use it on $1000 Luchese boots with no problem. On my older worn boots, it does temporarily darken them a little (a day to weeks, depending on the condition), but so far they have come back beautifully. I'd try a little on a cuff or something before committing the whole jacket. And like I said in the review it takes VERY little of this stuff (like a spray or two on a shammy. If you spray it directly on the leather, you've already used too much), followed by gentle buffing.

used this kit to repair some small tears in my leather sectional. It worked great, made a very strong repair. I used a popcicle stick to spread the adhesive on the underside of the tear, all the way around the edges. then added the backer cloth that was supplied in the kit, and then added more adhesive to the edges of the tear. Let is dry for 12 hrs then used the color sets to blend the repair. The adhesive seems very strong, yet flexible, I'm sure it will hold to surface and deep tears. My repair has held for a couple of months on the seat part of the sofa, and gets pretty regular daily use.

The answer is no. We fixed a rake and it worked like a charm. Sealed the rest of the unused roll up and when we went to use it at another time, voila, useless and hard as a rock.

YES - However tool is not easy to use - you can cut and waste a lot of cable if not careful - I use it to score the outer jacket only - I tried both # 5 & 6 cable - hope this helps -I cannot overstress the "be careful" part - you may have limited cable to work with

Hi, I tried using this glue to glue leather pieces together on a jacket. It is not waterproof at all. The my jacket got moist from just a slight sprinkle and fog and the glue became soft. I ended up using shoe goo and it has held pretty good.
