air gun. Heat activates the glue, providing an instant and permanent bond. Work down
with a hard tool, applying pressure to the patch while warm.
Temporary
repairs can be effected without heat or solvent if the patch is applied before
one of the glued surfaces is dry, i.e. while still slightly tacky.
Note: Factory repairs use the same adhesive
with the addition of an activator
. This has
the effect of greatly increasing bond strength, resistance to heat and resistance to wa-
ter. It has limited shelf life. Supplies of activator in New Zealand are obtainable from In-
cept. Otherwise visit <http://www.incept.co.nz/inflatable_rafts_FAQ2.htm>.
