So my cat panicked the other day (he managed to get himself wrapped up in some rope that was on the floor and he panicked when couldn't get out). I managed to finally catch him and free him and he is ok, but in his mad rush to get free he managed to cause a Tiny tear in our microfiber couch.
The tear is about 1/4 inch long and about as thick as a pen mark. I would never have caught it except that my wife was looking to see if the cat had damaged the couch. The tear is tiny and almost unnoticable, and I want to keep it that way. Is there glue or something that I can use to seal the tear? I've seen some fabric reapir kits online. Do they work? Will the glue dry clear? The couch is very light colored (almost white). I am not interested in matching color as the tear is quite small, but I don't want to fix the tear just to make it noticeable.
Any help would be appreacted.
Thank you,
FR

Try a drop of super glue on a toothpick than use a clean one to press down. this works well on small touch ups. This is just my opion. Micro fabric doesnt stread like other fabric. Dont get it on the out side of fabric insert glue threw the hole. Becareful not to get it on the soaf cant be removed. :cool:
