HOW THE PATCHES WORK

For best results, clean the damaged area first. (Alcohol is recommended.) For best adhesion, damaged area should be dry and free of dirt and debris.

  1. Heat the patch to approximately 194 °F (90 °C) using an appropriate
    heating method. Heating methods can be MRE heater (included with kits),
    oven, not used for food due to possible out gassing, wrapped in foil to protect
    paper backing, or heat gun. When using a heat gun, do not place heat gun
    too close to the patch surface or hold heat in one place for more than a
    few seconds.  Warning: DO NOT HEAT ABOVE 270 °F (132 °C).
    Be sure your heating method complies with safety standards according to the
    conditions under which you will be applying the patch– for example, outdoors,
    in rainy weather, near flammable materials, etc.

  2. Once the temperature is near or above 194 °F (90 °C), the material will soften and
    become very flexible. While heated, the patch can easily be cut to shape with scissors.
    Be sure to leave at least 1 inch of material on all sides of a hole or crack to improve
    adhesion and structural results. While wearing gloves that protect against the heat,
    remove and discard the paper backing from the material. Avoid touching the
    adhesive once the paper backing is removed.

  3. Press one side of the adhesive onto the repair surface and form the flexible Rec’Repair
    patch over the damaged area, applying pressure to shape it and press it into the
    contours of the repair surface. Continue pressing and shaping until it cools and
    becomes rigid again. Cooling time depends on the temperature of the damaged
    surface and on ambient air temperature, but normally the patch cools and becomes
    rigid again within one to two minutes.

  4. Rec’Repair patches with Strong Bond adhesive are a strong repair that can be permanently left in place or can be removed later by prying it off with a putty knife or similar slender object.  It is best removed while the patch is cool.

  5. Rec’Repair patches with the Permanent Bond adhesive are not designed designed with the option to be removed.

Note: Do not heat with a direct flame or contact the patch directly with a heating surface that is over 270 °F (132 °C). Do not store in direct sunlight. Not for use on pressurized tanks or lines. Avoid contact of the adhesive with skin. Removal may damage painted and gel-coated surfaces. Not warranted for any specific application.
