I've used this iron on patch stuff from Walmart a couple times on my old AP1 and it worked quite well. I only had it on there for a while till I saved enough money to buy a glass top replacement. Its in the fabric section and is cheap too!

Ok so i was starting to get a wear spot not a tear yet and i have tried alot of stuff on my previous top and to no avail! so for this top i searched and searched and nothing to cover the spot or keep it from ripping But at last i had an idea and it so far is working great!
i used a tire patch kit for a bike from the gas station woot cost me $1.40 has a rubber patch that's about 3x2 and rubber cement i fallowed the instructions for the glue (but don't use the metal buffing tool) and applied it well it works great not only is it holding strong but since its rubber it stretches and bends with the top & looks very clean as well!
if anyone wants pics let me know !
