What materials can I use this repair kit on?

How long does the repair solution take to dry?
Drying time varies depending on environmental conditions. Refer to the specific instructions provided with the kit for drying times.
Can I use this kit to repair a large tear?
The kit is most effective for small to medium-sized holes and tears. For very large tears, it may be necessary to use multiple patches or seek professional repair.
Is the repair permanent?
The repair is designed to be durable and long-lasting, but the longevity can depend on the type of damage and how well the instructions were followed.
Can I use the kit on inflatable toys?
Yes, the kit can be used on inflatable toys made of compatible materials like PVC and other plastics.
How do I store the repair kit?
Store the repair kit in a cool, dry place. Ensure the repair solution cap is tightly closed to prevent it from drying out.
What should I do if the patch doesn't stick?
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply firm, even pressure when applying the patch, and consider using heat to help it conform to the surface, especially if the surface is curved.
Troubleshooting
Repair is not airtight.
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned before application. Apply more repair solution and reapply the patch or tape, ensuring complete adhesion. Check for any air bubbles and smooth them out.
Repair tape doesn't stick.
Make sure the surface is clean and dry. Use the alcohol wipe to clean the surface. Consider roughing up the surface with fine-grit sandpaper for better adhesion. Apply firm, even pressure when applying the tape.
Repair solution is not sealing the hole.
Ensure you've applied a sufficient amount of the repair solution to the affected area. Let the solution dry completely as per the instructions before exposing it to pressure. Multiple applications may be necessary.
Tape is peeling off.
Ensure that the tape size is appropriate to cover the hole completely with an overlap around the edges. If the surface is curved, gently heat the tape using a hairdryer while pressing to allow it to conform to the surface.
