patch around the perimeter of the cut or hole and the corner are well radiused.
Next hold the patch on the tube and mark out around it with a pencil.
Use a grinder, course sand paperor scratch stone, rough up both the back of the patch and the
area marked on the tube.
Clean both surfaces with solvent and spread a thin layer of adhesive over them ensuring there
are no lumps.
When first coat is dry to the touch (about 10 to 15 minutes) apply a second thin coat. After
waiting 5 or 6 minutes, touch the adhesive with the back of your hand. If it no longer appears
wet, heat both areas with a hot air gun to re-activate the glue and join the patch to the tube and
then clamp or roll the surfaces together. For the best adhesion, roll over the patch with a roller
or over the bottom edge of a bottle.
Do not inflate the boat fully for 24 hours.
Danger
Glueand solvents used for repair are highly flammable. Perform repairs in a well ventilated

3D TENDER is using marine grade upholstery fabric to offer best resistance to UV and ageing.
Periodic washing with mild detergent and warm water is the best way to keep your upholstery
look good. Special vinyl cleaner can also be used to remove difficult stains. No fabrics can last
forever when constantly exposed to the elements. We therefore recommend you to cover your
boat when not in use.
Upholstery
When not in use, boat should be removed from water.
Before storage the boatshould also be cleaned and rinsed with fresh water.
Do not cover boat before it is completely dry or mildew could grow under the cover and damage
the tube material. The covers should be ventilated and the drain plug left out.
