WARNING

!

1. Locate the hole in the boat and access that area of the airecell and outer skin by opening the zipper.

2. Using a towel, dry the area to be worked on.

3. Cut a patch of fabric at least two inches larger in length and width than the puncture, hole, or tear.

4. Clean the area to be patched (using MEK or alcohol prep pads).

5. Rough up both the patch and the area to be patched with the sand paper.

6. After opening the 2-part adhesive, prepare the Stabond glue by pouring the entire contents of the glass jar
into the metal can and stir using a popsicle stick or tongue depressor.

7. Apply an even coat of glue with a small brush to both the patch and the area to be repaired and let dry
completely, approximately 10-15 minutes.

8. Apply a second coat of glue, and let dry 5 minutes or until tacky. If the glue is too dry, dampen with a small
amount of cleaner.

9. Place the patch over the hole or tear, and press together. Using a roller or another blunt object press from
the center of the patch to the edges to seal the patch to the airecell or outer skin. Make sure that the patch
seals completely and is without bubbles.

10. Let the glue cure at least one hour before inflating (overnight if possible is best). Do not inflate to full
pressure on the same day of the repair.

Repair Tips

Prior to opening the boat’s zippers, make sure they are clean and clear of any debris so that they will operate
freely, by cleaning the zippers with soapy water and an old toothbrush.

When patching the airecell, apply the patch to the outside of the airecell. When patching the PVC shell, apply the
patch on the inside of the PVC. The airecell patch is for air retention. The PVC shell patch protects the airecell
patch as well as prevents the hole from tearing further.

Adhesive Patch Repair

Items needed:

Towel Alcohol Prep Pad
Type A Adhesive Patch Tear Aid Instruction Sheet

For most repairs, the airecell does not need to be removed completely.

1. Locate the hole in the boat and access that area of the airecell and outer skin by opening the zipper.

2. Using a towel, dry the area to be worked on.

3. Clean area to be worked on with alcohol prep pad and let the area air dry.

4. Peel backing paper off Type A Adhesive Patch and apply patch over punctured area.
(See Tear Aid instruction sheet for more details.)

5. Press and rub patch so that the patch seals completely and is without bubbles.

Scissors or knife Slotted Screwdriver Roller
Stabond 2-part adhesive Sandpaper Popsicle stick
