3.
Wipe with a rag, dampened with solvent, to remove any residue from cleaning. Check to see if the
area is totally clean and all coated surfaces and edges are dull. If not, repeat the cleaning. This is
critical for a good glue bond.
Cutting the Patch
1.
Cut a patch. The patch should be at least 2"
(50 mm) larger in every direction from the
damaged area. A round patch is recom-
mended but, if a rectangular patch covers
the damage better, then round all corners.
2.
Clean the patch by scrubbing with a pad
dampened with solvent. Rub vigorously to
remove the gloss from the fabric. Clean
both sides of the patch, as it is easy to get the
patch turned over during installation. The
patch should also be cleaned on the outside
since it will be painted with glue later.
Caution
Solvent will damage the fabric if too much is used or if the fabric is left exposed to solvent residue.
The color of patch will vary, depending on the
product repair kit.
