Storage:
Optimal lifespan: 3 years at room temperature (16-22°C, 30-70% humidity), away from direct light, in original packaging.
Minimum temperature for repairs: from +10°C to + 40°C
Usage temperature: -40°C to +65°C
Sanding:
A good sanding of the area concerned will give you a better result.
The aim is to obtain a flat, clean surface so the patch holds as well as possible.
If the puncture is close to excess material, sand until the excess is removed.
Sanding will create micro-scratches that will allow the glue on your patch to set more easily.
This stage is very important for a lasting repair.
Cleaning:
Clean away any impurities to ensure a clean, flat and dry area to apply the patch.
Remember: don't use water or any other product to clean your inner tube after sanding. It's essential to have a clean, dry surface to ensure that your patch lasts.
Applying the patch:
Be careful not to touch the sticky part when positioning the patch, so as not to reduce its sticking power.
Remove any air bubbles from the centre of the patch towards the edges.
Rub the patch with your finger to warm it up and help it stick better.
Finally, press firmly with your thumb, covering the entire patch for 45 seconds to 1 minute (press on a clean, flat surface for greater effectiveness).
Did you know?
To make sure that your patch remains in place for as long as possible on your repaired inner tube, we strongly recommend that you reinflate your inner tube within 24 hours of applying the patch and that you inflate it to the recommended pressure.
