2.
Lay the patch in position on top of the area to be patched and draw around it with a
pencil. This marks the area to be glued.
3.
Clean the patch and the area to be repaired with MEK. This not only cleans the area but
prepares the material so the glue will penetrate and hold better. For PVC it is not
necessary to do any buffing.
4.
Mix glue and accelerator in your bowl or cup in correct proportion, mixing only as much
as you will need for this repair. We have found estimated proportions work just fine. A
more precise measure is 120 drops per 8 ounce cup.
5.
Using the cut off paint brush, apply the first coat of glue to both pieces that are being
joined. Let the glue dry thoroughly between coats -- approximately 15 minutes or until it
is not tacky.
6.
Repeat the same procedure for the second coat of glue.
7.
When thoroughly dry, apply the patch in the correct position, pressing from the center
outward to eliminate air bubbles.
8.
Using a small roller or the rounded end of a screw driver, press firmly on the patch in all
directions. At the same time, apply heat as this is very important to re-activate the glue. A
hair dryer on high works well. It is not recommended for someone without experience to
use a heat gun as it can easily get too hot for the material.
9.
Allow the glue to cure (with the boat inflated) for 24 hours before use on the water.
