Step 1 - Locate the damaged area. The easiest way is to fully inflate the
product and listen for the leak, or to spray with soapy water and look for
bubbles. Mark the damaged area with a crayon or wax pencil and deflate
the product.
Step 2 – Cut out a patch approximately 2 inches larger than the leak.
Clean the damaged part of the product and patch and allow drying
thoroughly.
TIP – It is a good idea to always use a circle or rectangle patch with
rounded corners. Pointed corners tend to pull off.
Step 3 – Next clean the area and the patch with alcohol, grease
remover, or fingernail polish remover and allow drying thoroughly.
Step 4 - Apply glue in a very thin layer to the patch and then to the
area of the leak. Let the glue stand until tacky, usually 30 seconds – 1
minute.
TIP – Place glue on the dull side of the patch and to the shinny side of
the unit. Then when you apply the patch it will match.
TIP – Use a short brush (just cut the length off) as this digs into the
material better to spread the glue. Also try to use a brush with real
hair instead of synthetic.
Step 5 – Place the patch over the leak
Step 6 – Press out the air pockets which may have formed under the
patch. You can use any round object, such as a spoon, starting in the
center and then working outwards toward the edges. You can keep the
repair “tight” by clamping together with spring pliers.
