Temporary Repairs Using Glue
Applying the Glue
Small scrapes, damaged fabric coating or pinholes, which are not leaking, can be repaired with glue only.
They do not require a patch. (A small scrape is defined as damage to the outer fabric coating only. A pinhole
is defined as a small puncture that is not leaking.) However, damage to the base fabric must be repaired with
a patch.
1.
Fill the weight bag with water prior to beginning repairs.
2.
Clean the area to be repaired with an abrasive pad
dampened with solvent. Remove all traces of
masking tape, if previously used. If possible, place a
piece of masking tape on the back side of the item
being repaired.
3.
Paint the damaged area with glue. Use a thick coat
of glue, overlapping the edges of the repair by 1" (25
mm). Be sure that the edges are well coated. A
damaged coating should be given two coats of glue.
Apply the second coat within four hours of the first
coat.
Important Note
Allow repair to harden for 24 hours at room temperature before using the item.
Clean and apply masking tape on the
backside of the tear.
Squeeze glue around the tear and spread
with fingers.
