Repair: Pinholes
Deflate your boat and
thoroughly clean and
dry the area that is to be
repaired. For small
punctures less than 1/8”
apply a small drop of
glue and allow 12 hours
to dry.
For immediate use
allow 30 minutes to dry
and then inflate the
compartment with the
repair only 3/4 full and
be sure to make a more
permanent repair later.
Repair: Patching
Leaks larger than a pin-
hole can be patched.
Most patches can be
done in a few minutes,
but we do offer a repair
service for more com-
plex jobs out of war-
ranty.
Using a pencil, trace the
outline of your patch
which should be large
enough to overlap the
damaged area by ap-
proximately 1/2”.
Angle the pencil inward
a bit so that the ink will
be covered by the patch
later.
Ap ply ad he sive to the
dull side of the patch
and around the area to
be repaired. Coat the
affected area lightly but
completely with glue. If
available, heat the
glued surfaces with a
hair dryer.
Place the patch on the
damaged area and then
press down firmly. Allow
to cure for at least 24
hours.
A temperature of 160°
degrees will activate the
adhesive. NEVER use a
heat gun on your boat.
TIP: Check our website
at SeaEagle.com for a
demonstrational video
on this process.
2-Part Adhesive
The adhesive that
comes standard in your
repair kit works for most
repairs and installations,
but for more detailed
and extensive repair we
recommend a 2-part
PVC adhesive.
