How should I store the Tear-Aid patch?

Store the Tear-Aid patch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Is it possible to paint on the repair patch?

Troubleshooting

Patch is not sticking properly.

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and completely dry before application. Press firmly on the patch, especially the edges.

Make sure the surface is prepared correctly. If the material is flexible, consider reinforcing the repair with an additional patch from the inside.
