Continuation, Repairs…
Draw the shape of the patch exactly where it will be applied, cut a round patch at least 2” / 5 cm larger
than the cut/damaged area, clean the damaged area and the corresponding side of the patch.
Apply 3 thin layers of glue on both the patch and the damaged area, allow for it to dry for 5 minutes
between layers until the glue feels tacky. When the third layer of glue is dry, apply the patch without
pressing and adjust the positioning if required, press the air bubbles which may have formed under the
patch by smoothing the patch with a round object such as a spoon, do this procedure by starting in the
center of the patch towards the outside, clean the excess glue with a solvent.
