Carpet Repair Kit Review Oct 26, 2009 By Gary Scarborough "GMAXX"
Delivery time was quite quick from Amazon.com. I was really impressed with this product. It pretty much does what it claims to do repair minor carpet damage such as cigarret burns in carpet.

pro's: Does what it suppose to do well. And has good instruction on it's usages.

con's: Even though you get a color mixing chart to mix the fiber to get your color. You will have to make a couple of test mixes to match you carpet color. Which can be a bit of a challenge.

Hmph... Jan 12, 2010 By Kelly Elayne Williams "Kelly Elayne"
I'm not super impressed with this product but it was cheap. The most usable part is the glue. It dries clear! Your best bet is to trim some carpet pieces from an area of your carpet that is not visible. Then use the glue to attach them to the spot you're trying to repair. The mix-your-own carpet fibers that come with the kit are tough to color-match. That said, I did have fun mixing up the fibers TRYING to match my carpet's color. I got close, just not close enough. It was a fun craft project. And like I said, the kit is cheap. Good luck!

Works well! Oct 09, 2011 By Susan C
This product is exactly as described. It works very well. I used my own fibers that I managed to get away from the puppy when he chewed a hole in carpet. Could stand to have a little more backing material included for larger areas, but other than that, I had no problem with it. For as large of an area that I was repairing, about the size of top of can of soda, it worked amazingly!! The area is barely noticable now, and if you didnt know it was there, you wouldnt be able to tell and it was in a very obvious place! Thanks again for saving me hundreds of dollars in repair from a professional!!

Good, but no miracles. Jan 25, 2012 By Locksmith
Damage: carpet, burned by incense, area similar to dollar coin.

For an area of this size and a carpet of medium height, I found that the product cannot perform a flawless fix. Since the area is rather large, I had to fill up the hole caused by the burn on a number of layers. I used fibers from a similar carpet; after gluing them, the height of the hole was still not level with the rest of the carpet. I had to repeat the operation a few times, gluing carpet fibers on top of the lower layer until the height reached the original carpet level. However, this produces a patch that is rough to the touch, due to the large area and layers of glue applied. It is indeed conspicuous, not resembling the original carpet as pictures in the product box may suggest, but it is less conspicuous than the burn mark. The glue is virtually invisible after drying.

At the last layer, I did use the fibers furnished by the kit, since the carpet fibers I was using were of slightly different color (the fibers provided by the kit are not carpet fibers; they are very small, resembling common fabric fibers). I used the color guide and started with not too much fiber, since I anticipated that I would have to keep adding more fibers of specific colors in order to reach a perfect color match. I mixed the kit fibers in the provided cup, compared with the carpet, and kept adding some more colors which I judged would improve the color match. After three or four steps of this procedure, I did get an almost perfect match with my original carpet, and enough fibers to sprinkle on top of my patch. Now, the area is still rough to the touch, it is conspicuous due to the roughness and the fibers do not stand up as in an original carpet's fibers. Nevertheless, the color is matched and it is hard to tell there was a burned hole in there.

I believe that, for smaller carpet areas, the product should perform much better and provide very good fixes. But I think that the product would show its real strength in repairing fabric, since the fibers provided in the kit are very small and resemble more of fabric than carpet.

I liked the overall quality. One more star would be given if the product came with more glue; for the amount of glue that ships with the kit, it will be exhausted long before you can consume half of the fibers.
