Air Chamber Repair—Hypalon Fabric
!
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from a fire, explosion or poisoning. The glues
and solvents used for repairing inflatables are toxic and highly flammable. As
a safety precaution, always work outdoors or in an area that is
well‑ventilated, and away from any open flames, sparks, or appliances
equipped with pilot lights. Breathing the vapors or exposure to the skin may
be hazardous to your health. Avoid breathing the vapors and contact with
skin and eyes by wearing a carbon filter respirator and protective gear over
all exposed areas of the body.
A small tube of emergency repair noncatalyst glue can be purchased through a
local Mercury Marine dealer in the United States. It is a one‑part glue operation
and may be used for emergency minor repairs. For a permanent repair, a
two‑part Hypalon fabric catalyst adhesive should be used. This two‑part
Hypalon fabric catalyst adhesive and patching materials are available from a
local Mercury Marine dealer in the United States. Regions outside of the United
States and Canada, contact the distributor in your country, or the Marine Power
Service Center closest to you for assistance purchasing the correct type of
glue/adhesive for your product.
Small tears and punctures in the air chambers that are 1 cm (0.393 in.) or less,
can be repaired in an emergency. Larger areas, or if the patch will overlap a
seam, should be patched by a professional repair technician at an inflatable
repair station. Contact your local Mercury dealer for the nearest inflatable repair
station.
For the best results when gluing, the relative humidity should be less than 60%,
ambient air temperature should be between 18 °C to 25 °C (65 °F to 77 °F),
and not in direct sunlight.
Cut out a patch large enough to overlap the damaged area by 38 mm (1.5 in.)
on all sides. Center the patch over the damaged area, and trace the outline of
the patch with a pencil. Apply masking tape around the perimeter of the
outlined patch area to ensure a tight and clean glue line.
Use 100‑grit sandpaper or a pumice stone to roughen the patch area on the
boat, and on the glue side of the patch. When sanding, you must rub off the
protective outer surface of the fabric until a dull finish appears.
Clean the sanded surfaces with either toluene or tolual cleaning solvents. Do
not allow solvent to contact your skin.
