FiberWeld Permanent Repair Cast 2x36 Inch - High Strength Adhesive Fiberglass Wrap - Black, 38236

The lever on my recliner broke, and there does not seem to be a way to replace it. I used this repair tape to make it good as new. The wet tape is a little messy but other than that it works great. I have used it for tool handles as well, and they are as strong as new. Excellent product

Great product and easy to use. Restored my favorite cracked shovel handle back to its original strength

Remember this is a wrap not an overlay. It is very messy to work with. I used it as an overlay thinking it to work like fiberglass mess. it does not. it is strong once cured. I do not plan to order 1 to have on hand in case I need it. If I were to break an axe handle as shown in package picture i recommend just going and buying a new axe handle

A bit messy to use, but overall, very impressive product.

Repaired a leg on a bamboo outdoor chair. Much easier than I expected. And it feels like hard wood afterwards. It sanded and I painted it to match, it looks great.

Fiberweld acquired this product from Fiberfix a few years ago. The first year they just changed the dimensions. After that they drastically reduced the quality and strength of this item. What used to be a fairly solid wrapping, is now a horrendous sloppy mesh. Imagine making paper mache art in elementary school, layering sopping wet blobs of newspaper and glue onto an art project. This stuff is basically the same, and only a little stronger. The ends are frayed and strings unravel from them. It cant grip anything to save its life, and unravels as you wrap farther up whatever you're fixing. The old after-wrap plastic strip that used to be included was replaced with a sort of stretchy fabric. This fabric piece folds over on itself horribly, and the fiberglass part foams and bubbles up like that spray can insulation foam. That traps the fabric wrap. If you take it off before a certain time, the fiberweld loosens up, ruining your project with a weak bond. If you wait too long, it bonds to the fabric and you cant take it off and it's now permanently part of your project. There is no perfect inbetween time, it's one or the other. The gloves included are also horrible, too small and they break too easily. I'm not some novice at this product either, I've used it and its predecessor probably close to 100 times.Absolutely do not purchase this product unless Fiberweld discontinues it and brings back the old one. I ordered the automotive specific ones to give them a try, but last time I did that they sent me these ones instead and I returned them. The white one is a little better, it has all the same flaws but not to the extremity of this one.

used this on metal mop spin handle. hANDLE bent, used this.

To be fair, this appears to be intended as a repair to round handles on hand tools. It's probably easier to use for that then what I used it for.I used it to repair a crack in a plastic car door inside panel. The crack was where there was a 90 degree bend in the plastic and it had cracked for 8" of the bend. This was not quite what I was expecting. It was really messy. The fiberglass was not very pliable and was saturated with the black gooey epoxy. I had to cut it into pieces to make it fix the need. Cutting the gooey fiberglass was messy. THen had to soak it in the water, then had to lay it down on the plastic and make it conform to a 90 degree bend. It was VERY slick and not very sticky for the first 5 or 10 minutes. I had to keep pushing the stuff back down into position and it would slide around while I was doing that. As it started to set up so it would stick to the plastic it also started sticking to my fingers (the gloves). So I'd push it down to conform to the plastic but when I lifted my fingers up it came up with them. I finally put a double layer of paper towel over the stuff so it would stop sticking to my fingers. I was finally able to get it to stay down and conform to the plastic. When it was cured it did stick pretty well and looks like it will work. It would probably have been easier to buy some plain fiberglass tape and mix up some regular jb weld then coat the plastic with the JB and push the fiberglass tape into the regular jb weld. I did a second repair on the panel that was similar. The issues were the same but since it was the second time doing it, it was less frustrating to have to do the paper towel step, etc.
