Default Re: Rubber Floor Mat

I remember a cheesey TV commercial for a product I bought that used to air here during the 1970's,similar to a K-Tel/Ronco type product that would show them repairing rips in vinyl tops,luggage etc.It worked pretty well for me.
It came with multiple cups of different colored gummy compounds to apply with a spatula & match to the tear,rip or hole you wanted to fix.
After application to the tear,you would let it set up and then choose from one of the many different madrid/pebble grained vinyl textured patterned pieces of paper they supplied and lay it over the repaired area to heat with a household iron.After cooling down,you would pull the paper off and see a final vinyl repair that closely matched in both color & texture.

Here is a Permatex products page showing items #80902,81781,81785 and 81786 that look like the same idea to me.
