MAINTENANCE

For the best results when gluing, the relative humidity should be

less than 60%, ambient air temperature should be between

18 °C to 25 °C (65 °F to 77 °F) and not in direct sunlight.
Cut out a patch large enough to overlap the damaged area by

38 mm (1.5 in.) on all sides. Center the patch over the damaged

area, and with a pencil trace the outline of the patch. Apply masking

tape around the perimeter of the outlined patch area to ensure a

tight and clean glue line.
Clean the patch area on the boat as well as the backside of the

patch with M.E.K. (methyl ethel ketone) patching solvent and

cleaner. Keep solvent off skin. After applying the solvent, you will

notice that the area will become tacky. This tackiness ensures

good glue adhesion.

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 two part 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 three thin layers of adhesive with a short bristle brush, in a

circular pattern on both the backside of the patch and the patch

area on the boat. Allow each layer to dry for 5‑10 minutes before

applying the next layer. After applying the third layer, wait 5‑10

minutes and then apply the patch to the prepared area and press

down firmly. Using a smooth object (a 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, place a 4‑5 pound weight onto

the patch and allow 24 hours drying time before pressurizing the

repaired air chamber.
