IRHSP Thermo-bond is a heat set medium specifically made to “fix” vinyl.

This product will restore damaged vinyl surfaces quickly and professionally.

IRHSP designed Thermo-Bond specifically to repair cuts, tears, cracks, holes, seam damage and bubbles. Thermo-Bond will seamlessly bond vinyl when activated by heat, creating a strong, flexible repair that lasts.

Great to fill in those annoying pin dot holes on the tips of fingers and toes on your dolls because it spreads on smoothly and cures evenly allowing you to rebuild problem areas with precision. Once heat set, it mimics the look and feel of the original surface remaining flexible without cracking or shrinking over time. If desired, you can tint, put in a texture medium or blend onto your surface for an almost invisible repair. If too much product appears on the surface, once cured (baked) you can very carefully sand it to even out the surface.

Whether restoring a cherished doll or completing a professional repair, Thermo-Bond provides the control, durability and durability needed for high-quality results.

IRHSP Thermo-Bond Instructions:

Stir well before use. Using the brushes provided (or any brush of your choice) apply to the problem area generously making sure that the Thermo-Bond gets in between any cracks or fills in small holes. Squeeze the area together once applied and wipe of any surface product that appears being careful to not wipe inside the areas where the Thermo-Bond was applied. It is best if you use a latex-free sponge to clean the area. (fingers work too). This product will dry clear and will have a little shine when dry but does not affect any future paint or medium layers you apply after fixing your issue.

Bake at 265 for 12 minutes and let it cool completely before handling and testing it. The cooler it is, the stronger it will be. Once heat set, it will never come apart, crack or turn yellow.

Hint: If it is a very deep cut, you can take a heat gun and start the curing process for a few minutes (do not get it too close to the vinyl so as not to melt the vinyl part) before putting it into the oven so as to help with adherence if you should want to apply extra product. This is not necessary, just apply, bake and bond!
