Have you found a rip or burn mark in a vinyl object that is just too noticeable to ignore? Instead of dreading the charges that would ensue after getting it professionally fixed, consider doing the vinyl repair yourself. It can be done quickly and easily, and you get to save on an expensive repair from a professional vinyl repair company.
The first thing you’ll want to do is purchase a few things such as a vinyl patch, vinyl adhesive, and vinyl color so that the patch blends seamlessly in with your vinyl color. Instead of buying these things before closely examining the hole, make sure to study how big the rip or hole is to decide how big of a patch you will need. If the rip has an odd shape, use a knife or pair of scissors to even the shape out so your patch will fit into it easier.
Your next step is to find a piece of vinyl that will satisfy the size of the hole and fit perfectly into it. It’s okay if you can’t get the exact size, but it really has to be similar. Once you’ve got the vinyl piece in the hole, you’ll need to cut the patch out to the same size and fit it directly over the vinyl piece and inside of the hole as well. You can make the vinyl patch smooth so that it evenly spreads out.
Next, you’ll want to lift up the damaged vinyl part and keep it held up so that it’s above the surface. You’ll need to use your adhesive now to attach the patch to the original vinyl so that it securely stays in place. Once they have been attached together, it’s time to leave them there together for a very long period of time (a day or two). Just remember that if you keep the patch and original vinyl stuck together for a long time, the vinyl repair will be stronger and stronger. Be sure to keep the area out of heat or light to avoid disruption of the adhesive’s effectiveness.
