Coconix Fabric & Carpet Repair Kit | Fix Tears, Holes, and Burns on Fabric and Carpet Upholstery, Rugs, and Clothing | Easy Application with Customizable Colors

$ 7.42

I had a small burn hole in microfiber couch. I was devastated and ordered this kit. I obsessed over this hole while waiting for the kit to arrive. I studied other people’s reviews and pictures and read about the excellent customer service this company has so I contacted them and sent them an email asking for advice on the repair. They answered my email within a day and gave their opinion. They started with advice on how to mix the color starting with gray and then adding brown. They advised cutting material larger than the hole and tucking it inside and under the edges of the hole. Because the hole was not burned into the cushion, I returned an email stating I thought that would cause more damage as the fabric was not pulling away from the cushion. They then advised inserting a tiny bit of cotton. Once I received the kit, I easily mixed the colors and practiced working with the flocking fibers on paper. I glued cotton to paper and tried the flocking on that. The color didn’t stick perfectly on the cotton then. I then tried the glue and flocking fibers on the paper. I wanted to see if I needed the cotton and wanted to see how hard the fibers and glue would dry. I felt that the fibers and glue alone would dry too hard and felt the hole needed to be filled with cotton. I used very little glue and inserted the cotton trying to stay just inside the hole (Picture above). I showed my friend who thought the cotton needed to be pushed in some to allow for the fibers. I let that patch sit overnight and carefully scraped a little cotton out making sure no cotton went over the edges. I then practiced tapping the fibers onto the cotton to check the color match and added a bit more brown a couple times. I then put a little glue on paper and used the tweezers to insert a tiny bit of glue in the hole and shook the fibers onto the hole. Gently, I patted the fibers onto the hole with the spatula and even dabbed the spot with my fingers until it looked good. I left the area to dry and within a couple hours (as my house is dry, winter, wood stove) I gently started brushing the fibers off knowing that it may not be completely dry. The patch looked good but it did appear that it needed to be filled in a touch more. I again repeated the process spreading a tiny bit of glue again and patting it with the spatula and lightly dabbing with my finger. I just did this repair today and will let it fully dry overnight and check the adherence of the fibers and see that a good patch tomorrow.I was very nervous about this repair. I recommend working slowly and thinking things through first. Carefully match the fibers in natural daylight. I found matching the color very easy. Go easy on the glue, you can alway repeat the process. The fibers did not darken with the glue for me as one person who did a review stated. The product was very easy to work with. I do not believe that patch will be hard or be felt. Some of the color containers arrived loose, be aware. Customer service was very helpful and gave me confidence as did my friend’s advice. I was happy with the price and would consider buying their other products. [...]
