MAINTENANCE
● Household cleaners should only be used sparingly and must not be discharged into the water.
● Never mix cleaning agents and ensure adequate ventilation in closed rooms.
● DO NOT use harsh cleaning agents, solvents or products containing phosphates, chlorine, solvents or
products that are not biodegradable or oil-based.
● IMPORTANT: Do NOT use waxes or detergents containing alcohol on the boat fabric. Alcohol will dry out
the boat fabric prematurely.
● Citrus-based cleaners are excellent for cleaning boats and are safe for you and the environment.
● Your dinghy is best cleaned with water and normal soap.

● SMALL REPAIRS
For small holes, you can use the material provided in the repair kit.
For larger areas - or if the patch overlaps a seam - the damage should be repaired by a professional
repair mechanic in a dinghy repair shop.
For best bonding results, the relative humidity should be less than 60% and the temperature should be bet-
ween 18°C and 25°C (65°F and 77°F). Do not carry out such repairs in direct sunlight.
In general, proceed as follows:
● Cut out a patch large enough to overlap the damaged area by 30 mm on all sides.
● Center the overlapping patch on the damaged area and mark the outline of the patch with a pencil.
● Remove stains from the surface around the air leak and patch by roughening this area evenly, but not too
deeply,withsandpaperwithoutexposingthebresofthematerial.
● Clean the area around the damaged area and the patch.
● Apply two thin layers of adhesive to the back of the patch and the area to be repaired on the boat using a
short-hairedbrush.Allowtherstlayertodrycompletely(about15minutes)beforeapplyingthesecond
layer.Thesecondcoatmustdryuntilsticky.Thenapplythepatchtothepreparedareaandpressrmlyinto
place. Remove any air bubbles trapped under the patch with a smooth object (the back of a spoon is good).
Work from the centre of the patch outwards.
● Wait24hoursbeforeinatingtheboatagain.
