Frequently Asked Questions

• Can TEAR-AID Type B be used on hot tub covers?
  Absolutely! TEAR-AID Type B is specifically designed for vinyl hot tub covers. It bonds permanently to both the top vinyl surface and the underside, creating a waterproof seal that prevents moisture from entering the foam core. Works on all major brands including Bullfrog, Jacuzzi, Sundance, Hot Spring, and Caldera.
• What's the difference between TEAR-AID Type A and Type B?
  TEAR-AID Type A is for fabrics and canvas, while Type B is specifically formulated for vinyl and vinyl-coated surfaces. For hot tub covers, pool liners, and inflatable spas, always use Type B for the strongest bond. Using the wrong type will result in repair failure.
• Will TEAR-AID work on inflatable hot tubs?
  Yes! TEAR-AID Type B is perfect for inflatable spas and portable hot tubs. The flexible patch moves with the material as it inflates and deflates, and it's fully resistant to spa chemicals. Works great on Intex, Coleman, and Bestway inflatable spas.
• Can I apply TEAR-AID underwater?
  TEAR-AID Type B can be applied underwater for emergency pool liner repairs. However, for maximum bond strength, apply to clean, dry surfaces when possible and allow 24 hours to cure. The patch will stick underwater but reaches full strength when applied dry.
• How long does a TEAR-AID repair last?
  When properly applied, TEAR-AID Type B creates a permanent repair lasting years – often outlasting the vinyl itself. The patch is UV-resistant, chemical-resistant, and won't crack or peel. Many users report repairs lasting 5+ years with no degradation.
• Is TEAR-AID compatible with all spa cover brands?
  Yes! TEAR-AID Type B works on all vinyl spa covers regardless of brand – Bullfrog, Jacuzzi, Sundance, Hot Spring, Caldera, Master Spas, Marquis, and more. It's a universal solution that bonds to any vinyl or vinyl-coated surface.
