How long does the repair last?
The longevity of the repair depends on the quality of the application and the conditions of use. Properly applied repairs can last for a long time.
How do I clean the area before applying the patch?
Clean the damaged area with soap and water. Ensure it's completely dry before applying the patch. If underwater, clean the area as much as possible.
Is the adhesive safe?
The adhesive is formulated for use with vinyl liners. Always ensure proper ventilation when applying it.

What if the patch is too big?
The included patch can be cut to the appropriate size. Make sure it overlaps the damaged area by at least an inch on all sides.
Troubleshooting
Patch is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is completely clean and dry before applying the adhesive. Apply sufficient pressure when attaching the patch and allow adequate curing time.
Leakage continues after repair.
Check for any gaps or air bubbles under the patch. Reapply the patch or use an additional patch, ensuring complete coverage of the damaged area. Ensure adequate curing time.
Adhesive is too thick or runny.
Ensure that the adhesive is not expired. Apply a thin, even layer; if necessary, adjust the amount used.
Difficulty cutting the patch.
Use sharp scissors or a utility knife to cut the patch. Ensure a clean cut for a proper seal.
