7. Place a plastic cover sheet over the patch followed by
a weight bag for 12 hours at room temperature.
Remove the weight bag and leave to dry for 24 hours.

hours, paint over the patch with glue. Painting the
patch also provides protection from ultra violet light
and weather. Allow the bond to harden for 24 hours at
room temperature before using the item.
Allow repair to harden for 24 hours at room temperature before using the item.
Repairs will likely fail if:
• The area to be repaired is not perfectly clean and scrubbed to a matte finish before applying
the patch.
• Repairs are attempted during wet or cold weather.
• The glue and patch are not properly placed, creating air bubbles between the glue and the
patch.
• The patch is not weighed down for 24 hours.
• The bucket is used before the glue has set.
