Unrip Help Center

Can Unrip be removed?

Unrip patches can be removed with Acetone. Saturate a piece of paper towel or small rag in Acetone and lightly dab the area while gently pulling up on the patch.
Can Unrip be used to repair chlorinated rubber, in addition to latex?

Yes, Unrip is an effective solution for repairing chlorinated rubber. For best results, we recommend gently rubbing the chlorinated rubber surface with 120-grit sandpaper for approximately two minutes to lightly roughen the surface of the rubber. This will provide the necessary friction for the patch to adhere properly to a chlorinated surface. After sanding, the repair area must be cleaned and dry before applying Unrip.
Can I repair large "Blow Out" rips with Unrip?

Yes! Unrip works well for repairing both large and small rips in your latex clothing. Rips longer than four inches may require that a repair patch is placed on both the front and back of the clothing. This allows for extra reinforcement of the repair. If your having any difficulty with aligning the two sides of a rip, you can temporarily secure the rip edges with a piece of packaging tape on the opposite side of the repaired area before applying the Unrip patch.
What if my color is not available?

If you need a custom color that isn't currently available, please send us a message on our Contact Us page. An additional charge may apply for custom orders. If you already have spare latex sheeting in the desired color (minimum size 2 ft x 1ft), it's easiest to ship that to us and we can turn it into a custom Unrip patch.
What thickness of latex works best with Unrip?

Unrip is designed to work with most common latex thicknesses between 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm.
Will Unrip work on Neoprene?

Unrip can serve as a temporary solution for repairing non-latex materials, like neoprene. However, since Unrip is latex-based, the shine and texture may not match most neoprene clothing. Durability may also be limited.
Are lubricants and shining products safe to use with Unrip?

Unrip can generally withstand latex-safe silicone, water-based lubricants, and latex clothing shining products containing silicon oil, such as Vivishine. Automotive shining products, such as "Armor All," should not be used with Unrip. Please note, it is important to wait at least 48 hours after performing an Unrip repair before exposing the patch to washings, lubricants or shining products. This allows the glue to fully adhere to surface of the latex and avoids causing damage to the patch.
Can Unrip be reused once removed?

Unfortunately, an Unrip patch is a one-time only use product intended for permanent repairs. If the Unrip repair patch is removed from a garment, it cannot be re-applied.
Are there tips for aligning the two sides of a large tear?

To help better align the pieces of a tear, consider securing the edges on the underside of the garment with a small piece of packing tape before applying the Unrip tape. For more information, see How to use Unrip.
