Repairs
Using Glue
Tools and Materials Required
•
Roller
•
Scissors
•
Patch material
•
Glue
•
Solvent (isopropyl rubbing alcohol is recommended)
•
Abrasive pad
Before commencing repairs using glue, the following should be noted:
• The weather should be warm (above 60 deg. F or 15 deg. C) and dry.
• If the glue and patch are not properly placed, air bubbles will be created between the
glue and patch.
• The patch should be weighted down for 8-12 hours.
• The repaired item should not be used before the glue has set.
Important Note
Try a test repair before attempting to repair the item. It is much harder to fix a repair once a failed
attempt has been made as the hardened glue is difficult to remove.
Important Note
Dura-Seal glue has been designed specifically for the SEI family of fabrics. The shelf life of this
adhesive is about one year. Fresh adhesive can be obtained directly from SEI Industries Ltd.
