I would use those patches that are made for clothes. You iron them on. Put it on the outside (where it shows when you put it n the bed) and be vary careful!!! Don't iron too much to where you burn the material of the bed cover. It worked for me. To be extra safe I then hand sowed around the patch to make sure it stayed in place. The patch is good for keeping the cover waterproof. If you tore the bottom (the part that you can't touch to heat) then I don't know. Let me know how it goes.

Hi Pam, ok there is NO protective wrap. I thought the same thing and nearly drove myself crazy trying to peel apart the protective coating. Well, it's not a protective coating. Just keep pulling past that area which seems like half the roll but once you get past that part ..presto..magic..super sticky two-sided tape. Best of luck!!

This will absolutely fix the problem for the cracked screen. You will need a very fine jewelers Philip head screwdriver. I used a size P000 which fit perfectly.

My personal advice is to buy the tape. They are easier to apply, more clean. If you prefer amore professionals way, buy loca glue.. beware, they are messy, and you will need uv light machine. Without the light, it won't set. Also, if you're carefully when you take of the broken glass, you don't need to buy adhesive bc there is a thick layer in between the digitalized glass and the lcd screen. Lift a corner first, then insert a thin plastic ruler horizontally in between the two screen, and try to wiggle it free. Clean out the broken pieces with a tweezer, then put the new screen on. If you do this step carefully, you don't have to buy adhesive, if you don't, there will be a lot of sweating and swearing when you try to clean out the old adhesive. It hard. Then use the tape. If you use the loca glue, then buy the light also, cure it , then you are done. Hope this will help.

I had a small hole in my Patagonia down jacket and I did not want to send it out for repair through them (it can take up to 30 days to get products back from them when sent out for repair). Patagonia suggested that I patch the hole with Tenacious Tape. I took their advice and the patch has worked perfectly. I would recommend for smaller holes/tears. Hope this helps!

Had a similar experience. Bought a higher quality protector and put pieces of paper over to get cover on then pulled paper out.

Cut and tape a drop cloth on it. Just a plain out plastic drop cloth from the dollar store.

I would try that. Just go easy, the glues used by Chinese when opening a seam can cause cracking of the clear cover. Worth a try just be careful.

I received one with the speaker mesh and one without, so it's a toss-up? The old one is very easy to remove and replace on the new display. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to lift the gray/black tape that holds the screen in. You can remove both gently. Apply them to the new screen. The outer glass is definitely included. Replacing these screens alone (no outer glass) is impossible because the screen is glued very hard to the glass. Separating the two is impossible. The glass I received seems to be the same thickness as the original glass, but I wouldn't test to see if it holds up to stresses as well :-) I received one with the speaker mesh and one without, so it's a toss-up?

I don't think this product works very well on long tears...you are probably better off with completely replacing the damaged screen.

Try using super glue or rubber cement or LocTite Clear Silicone Sealant to coat the cracked plastic and make it stronger. One of these will work better than the others. You might want to experiment with them before you put them on the broken part in the heater. Remember, the bonding agent you choose needs to withstand heat of at least 212 * F.

The tape is pretty thick and needs to be cut. If you try to tear, all you do is just stretch it a little.

Try spraying a little WD-40 (lubricant and source of a gazillion fixes) on the seam and let it rest for 10 minutes, or so. You should be able to separate the two parts. Then, as a matter of maintenance, rub a very light film of Vaseline on the base piece. You shouldn't have the problem any longer.

Take a piece of lightweight cardboard and gently run it down the screen over the plastic. This should take care of it. Also make sure your screen is clean.
