REPAIRS

ONE PART GLUE (EMERGENCY REPAIRS ONLY)

Follow the directions on the cement tube.

TWO PART ADHESIVE

Mix a batch of adhesive according to the mixing directions provided with the adhesive. Keep adhesive off skin. When the adhesive is fully mixed, it must sit for a short time to activate the catalyst. Failure to do so will create poor fabric adhesion.

Apply two thin layers of adhesive using a short bristle brush, in a circular pattern on both the backside of the patch and the patch area on the boat. Allow the first layer to dry completely (approximately 15 minutes) before applying the second layer. The second layer should dry until tacky, then apply the patch to the prepared area and press down firmly. Using a smooth object (the back of a tablespoon works well), force out any air bubbles that may have been trapped under the patch, working from the center of the patch to the outside.

After removing the masking tape, use solvent to clean up any excess glue, then place a 4 ‑ 5 pound weight onto the patch and allow 24 hours drying time before pressurizing the repaired air chamber.
