Troubleshooting
Adhesive not bonding effectively
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from oils or residues. Roughening the surfaces slightly can improve grip. Make sure the adhesive was allowed to become tacky before joining the surfaces.
Repair is stiff after drying
This may indicate an excessive amount of adhesive was used or the material is not truly a soft plastic/vinyl. For best results, apply a thin, even layer.
Adhesive has dried out in the tube
Ensure the re-sealable lid was closed tightly after the last use. If significantly dried, the product may need to be replaced.
Repair area is still leaking after application
Check that the adhesive was applied evenly and that the surfaces were held together securely during the initial bonding period. For larger holes, ensure the included patch was used or a sufficient overlap of the material was achieved.
