- Mix the adhesive and hardener well; The mixing ratio is indicated on the packaging (for 125 ml of glue you need 7.5 ml of hardener). After about 30 minutes the glue is workable.
- Cut the patch (sticker made of PVC material) to size and mark with a white pencil, silver or green ink pen on the spot on the boat to be repaired. ATTENTION: absolutely do not use a blue-writing pen!
- Degrease the spot on the boat and the patch with thinner. ATTENTION: do not use products with Acetone. Only degrease the marked area on the boat.
- Lightly coat the patch and the area on the boat, preferably with long straight strokes. Then let it dry for about 10 minutes.
- Again thinly coat the patch and the area on the boat with long straight strokes and allow to dry for 10 minutes.
- For the 3rd time, lightly coat the patch and the area on the boat with long straight strokes and allow to dry for 10 minutes. The glue should no longer “peck”.
- Connect the patch to the boat and then press the patch firmly from the center outwards. Pressing can be done with a blunt object.
- Immediately clean the glue residue with the special thinner for PVC and then firmly press the edges of the patch again.
Then let it dry for at least 24 hours at a constant temperature.
ATTENTION: when the glue turns white, you can NOT continue gluing.
One of the points mentioned above under A or B is the cause of this.
TIP :
When repairing an air leak, deflate the boat/tube before repairing. After this, do NOT inflate/inflate the boat for 24 hours due to the drying time of the glue.
