Brilio.net - The rainy season often makes people rely on raincoats when driving or doing outdoor activities. However, frequent use and lack of maintenance can make raincoats quickly damaged, such as torn or perforated, which of course is very uncomfortable when used.
A tear in a raincoat can be a big problem, especially if rainwater starts to seep in and make the clothes wet. If not repaired immediately, it feels like not wearing a raincoat at all because it cannot protect the body properly.
If your raincoat is torn, don't rush to throw it away, because it can still be repaired easily. One way is by following a simple method shared by Yoga Arief on his YouTube account.

Starting from a torn and unusable raincoat, Yoga Arief tried to fix it using exactly the same material, namely the raincoat wrapper itself. The material was then cut according to the size of the torn hole to cover the damaged part.

The process is quite simple, namely by attaching pieces of material to the torn part. Then, the material is heated using paper as a protector to ensure the results are smooth and neat.

After being heated and cooled, the raincoat was intact again and ready to use. The results were very surprising, the annoying tear was gone, and the raincoat was like new again, with the torn part looking smooth without any obvious patch marks.
Yoga also expressed his amazement at the very smooth repair results. It was as if the raincoat had never been damaged before.
"Oh, this is extraordinary new knowledge, this is really smooth," he said.

This trick has proven to be very effective. Despite trying various ways, the previously torn raincoat remains strong and shows no signs of damage.
In addition, to maintain the raincoat so that it does not tear easily, make sure to always fold it neatly after use and store it in a dry place. This helps maintain the condition of the raincoat so that it remains durable and does not get damaged quickly due to humidity or direct exposure to sunlight.
Also avoid pressing or pulling the raincoat roughly when wearing it, as it can cause tears in the material. Make sure to clean it properly, such as washing it by hand or using a washing machine on a gentle setting, so that the raincoat material is not easily damaged.
