1 FiberFix
  • Chris Quinn
  • Derek Rowley
  • Spencer Quinn

Fiber Fix™ was born out of the frustration of having tapes not strong enough and epoxies being too messy, too difficult and just plain intimidating. We wanted to create something that brought the strength of an epoxy with the ease of a tape. Poof! Fiber Fix – was born! It is over 100X stronger than duct tape and hardens in a matter of minutes. It is water proof, cold and heat resistant, non-toxic and quite simply the strongest thing we have ever seen. Here at Fiber Fix we are on a mission to fundamentally change how people fix their stuff. As our motto states, we want to Fix It for Good! No more wrapping and re-wrapping that broken handle with layer after layer of duct tape. When you fix it with Fiber Fix, you Fix it For Good!
