INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Repair glue (1/2)
1. Once your equipment (tent, rucksack, clothing) is clean and dry, trim the edges of the tear with scissors.
2. Using adhesive tape (on the reverse side) or clips (if the fabric allows), hold the edges flat so that you can easily access the area to be glued.
3. Spread the glue using a brush or applicator along both edges of the tear (making sure to go right to the ends).
4. Wait a few minutes for the glue to dry to the touch.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Repair glue (2/2)
5. Apply a second coat of glue and wait again for it to dry to the touch.
6. Press the two glued edges together on the front (outside) side, applying strong pressure with your fingers along the entire length of the repair.
7. If you can, repeat the pressing operation on the reverse side (inside) by turning the material over.
8. Allow to dry for 24 hours before using, folding or storing the equipment.
Why is it so effective for outdoor sports?
Elastic resistance (Elasticity): Unlike Super Glue, which becomes stiff and breaks as soon as the fabric moves, neoprene remains flexible. It moves with the body, your shoes or the waves.
Complete waterproofing: Once dry, it acts as a water barrier. It’s ideal for ensuring that a wetsuit or a pair of shoes remains watertight.
Vibration resistance: It withstands repeated impacts (strides whilst running, impacts whilst mountain biking).
Its usefulness in hiking, trail running and mountaineering
Sole reattachment: When the sole starts to come away at the toe or heel due to twisting.
Repair of stone guards: The protective rubber strip at the front of the shoe, which tends to tear off when struck by stones.
Backpacks: Attaching reinforcement patches to areas subject to heavy wear (the bottom of bags, shoulder straps).
Its uses in camping, cycling and technical equipment
Heavy tarpaulins and groundsheets: Repairs to heavy-duty cotton tents, technical sleeping bags or waterproof bikepacking/canoeing bags.
Bicycle or racket grips: To securely fasten rubber grips or grip tape that tend to slip due to sweat and exertion.
Useful in water sports (The Realm of Neoprene)
Wetsuits for surfing, diving, triathlon and canyoning: Repairing snags, tears (often caused by fingernails or rocks) and seams that have come apart.
Accessories: Repairing gloves, diving boots or kayak skirts.
