Coconix Fabric and Carpet Repair Kit

Cleaning solution (such as a household cleaner)

Scissors or utility knife (if necessary)

Step 1

Preparing the Damaged Area

  • Prepare the damaged area on your rug by carefully trimming any excess threads or burn marks.
  • Clean the area with a cleaning solution and a cloth.

Step 2

Mixing the Repair Fibers

  • In the mixing jar, add the matching color fibers and the metal ball.
  • Attach the lid and shake the jar for at least 30 seconds.
  • If your repair requires a custom color, refer to the Color Mixing Guide in the kit to match the color and prepare the mixture using the empty mixing jar provided.

Step 3

Applying the Repair Glue

  • Apply the glue to the damaged area on your rug, under and along the edges, working from the outside toward the center to avoid air bubbles.
  • Fill the damaged area as evenly as possible.
  • Apply a thin layer of glue around the damage to blend in the repair as well.

Step 4

Adding Fibers

  • Take off the lid of the jar and remove the metal ball. Secure the piece of mesh on top of the jar with the rubber band and use this as a sieve.
  • Hold the mixing jar upside down above the adhesive and gently tap the mixing jar. This will gradually sift the fibers over the adhesive. Cover the adhesive completely with the fabric fibers.

Step 5

Finishing the Repair

  • Gently pack down the fibers with the spatula. Duplicate any fabric patterns such as lines or swirls with the spatula on your rug.
  • Allow 24 hours for it to dry. Once the fabric glue has dried fully, blow off any excess fibers.
  • Use tweezers to remove any loose fibers that may still stick out from the repair.

Step 6

Maintenance

  • To ensure that your repair lasts as long as possible, it's important to maintain the rug.
  • Use a rug protector spray to protect the repaired area from future wear and tear.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives on the repaired area, as they may damage the repair and undo all of your hard work.
  • Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning with a rug cleaning solution will also help to keep your rug looking like new.

And there you have it! You've just fixed that burn mark on your rug and it's looking as good as new. Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Your rug is now ready for more foot traffic.

Worked like magic

My carpet was burnt pretty bad by charcoal. It took 2 tries to get this result. Because of the print, 2 layers or different colors made it look real. First I did a light pink. Then I let it dry for two days. Then a blend of dark and light grey.Follow the color instructions and be careful.Instructions are pretty clear. Overall very happy with the outcome and will definitely recommend. My friend knew my carpet had burnt and saw a photo of it, when she came over she couldn’t find the spot! It does feel like a different texture, but better than having a black spot.Thanks!!
