FAQs
Can I use this tape on any type of surfboard?
Yes, it is designed for use on most standard surfboards, provided the surface is clean, dry, and free of wax.
Is this a permanent repair for my board?
No, this is a temporary fix meant to protect the board until you can have a professional or permanent repair performed.
How many patches come in a pack?
Each pack contains 5 patches measuring 9cm x 7.5cm.
Do I need to sand the ding before applying the tape?
While not strictly required for the tape to stick, removing loose shards of fiberglass creates a flatter surface that helps the patch adhere more effectively.
Can I apply the tape while the board is wet?
No, the surface must be completely dry for the adhesive to form a proper waterproof bond.
Troubleshooting
The patch is peeling off at the edges
The board surface was likely not cleaned well enough. Remove the patch, clean the area thoroughly with an alcohol wipe to remove wax and salt, let it dry, and apply a fresh patch.
Water is still seeping into the crack
Ensure the patch is applied with firm, even pressure across the entire surface. If the ding is deep, consider using a larger patch or overlapping if necessary to ensure full coverage.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides an immediate fix for dings to save your surf session
- Strong, water-resistant adhesive holds up well in marine environments
- Easy to apply without requiring complex tools or curing times
- Compact size is perfect for keeping in a travel gear bag
Cons
- Not a substitute for professional fiberglass or epoxy structural repairs
- May require replacement after extensive time in the water
- Surfaces must be perfectly clean and dry for optimal adhesion
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For best results, always carry a small alcohol wipe or clean cloth to prep the board surface before application. Ensure the area is entirely free of wax residue, as the adhesive will fail if applied over a waxy surface. While the tape is waterproof, avoid scraping it against rocks or reef to prevent the edges from lifting. Store the unused patches in a cool, dry place inside their original packaging to maintain the effectiveness of the adhesive glue until needed.
