HOW TO REPAIR SMALL PUNCTURES

You can repair small punctures with the included repair kit (Note: Glue not included in USA). Please note that in order
for the repair to be successful, the humidity level should be less than 60 %, temperature between 65° F/77° F or
18°C/25° C. Avoid carrying out repairs in the rain or in direct sunlight. Check that the tube is fully deflated and lies flat.
1. Draw the shape of the patch exactly where it will be applied, cut a round patch at least 2" / 5 cm larger than the
cut/damaged area.
2. Clean the damaged area and the corresponding side of the patch with a grease remover of the alcohol type and
allow for it to dry for 5 minutes.
3. Apply 3 thin layers of glue on both the patch and the damaged area, allow for it to dry for 5 minutes between layers
until the glue feels tacky.
4. When the third layer of glue is dry, apply the patch without pressing and adjust the positioning if required, press the
air bubbles which may have formed under the patch by smoothing the patch with a round object such as a spoon, do
this procedure by starting in the center of the patch towards the outside, clean the excess glue with a solvent.
Drying: 12 hours.
 Perform all of your repairs in a well-ventilated area.
 Avoid inhaling glue vapors or swallowing.
Note: the repairs on the weldings must not be glued. Only the manufacturer of the boat can perform the repairs on the
weldings.
WARNING !
 Avoid contact with the skin or the eyes.
 Keep all repair materials (glue, solvents, etc.)
away from children's reach.
