Would this tape work on canvas or heavy cloth? I need to repair a torn gear bag.

Without question it would work. Of course you want to make sure to clean the place to be patched, as much as possible. This tape is very sticky and very thick. You won't be disappointed.

I agree with Bud. It probably wouldn't stick to the cotton at all but if it did, it wouldn't stick for long. The tape is best for non-porous surfaces, and the wider the surface area the better.

I haven't actually used this on canvas, but I think they would work fine. They work on cotton fabric just fine, even the thicker fabric for the inkjet printers with the iron on stuff.

You cannot use this on clothes. It is Not a soft label. I am a nurse and I use it to label blood tubes and specimens, which works well due to the plastic nature of the tape. It is more for hard or firm surfaces. Hope this helped.

I personally have not been able to use it on anything. Others posted the same as myself. Was a waste of my money. Regular scotch tape worked better than that junk.

I have used Fabri-Tac extensively and what it is good for is gluing things to fabric. The fabric remains bendable, so if the item you are gluing is bendable, it will work. But if you are gluing elastic to cloth, I foresee problems. When the elastic stretches, the Fabri-Tac bonds may break with repeated stretches. What are you making if I may ask? Maybe if I knew what you were making I would have some ideas....

I can't help you. I bought this to repair a leather office chair. Doesn't stick well to leather. Thin, but seem strong. I think it is made to repair books bindings. So, to repair paintings, i'd have to be concerned about the tape glue causing issued with the painting or the backing.

I have secured gauze to my satisfaction, but be aware that the tape is waterproof and does not breath like most tapes do. But it is a very flexible and soft tape so it would be great for joints. This tape does not leave a sticky residue like some do after several days.

I used the tape to repair a water leak in the kitchen sink just below the drain. The tape stretches a bit and adheres to itself during wrapping. I don't believe it would work for your particular need but would be nice to have in your Do it yourself tool kit.

The tape is very strong...I have never tried that before, I would say give it a shot! It might work!

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

I would not recommend using that on porous materials like cloth. It can get through and get really messy. Not to mention the horrible smell that you have to deal with. Try fabric glue instead =)

I use this tape on a Scotch Tape Dispenser but the tape does not have the strength of a roll Scotch tape.

I used it on a cloth jacket, not quite denim, and it seemed to make it resistant for a month or two. Should work on jeans fine but it's not a long term solution nor a heavy duty one.

If its made of canvas, I'm not sure. If its ripstop nylon, I imagine one would just spray it on. but I haven't tried it.

It isn't like strapping tape. It doesn't tear really easily but I've torn it by hand. I would compare it to tearing fabric. I typically use scissors.

I don't see why not. I used it on a nylon roof cargo bag for my car. It was heavy duty and already water "resistant", but I think it really helped driving through the snow and rain in the mid/north west USA. I have only need to use my cargo bag a few times since I bought it so the color hasn't started to fade. But the product does block UV which is the main reason of fading fabrics/plastics.
