Seamax PVC Inflatable Boat 2 Part Marine Adhesive (250ml Glue, Glue Only)

For optimal results when using glue, it is important to ensure that the relative humidity is less than 60% and that the ambient air temperature falls within the range of 18C to 25C (65 F to 77F) and is not in direct sunlight. Prior to applying the glue, clean the area on the boat where the patch will be applied, as well as the contact side of the patch. It is recommended to use M.E.K. (Methyl Ethel Ketone) patching solvent and cleaner for this purpose.

It is important to note that the product contains Polyurethane and M.E.K. may be harmful if inhaled or cause eye irritations. It may also lead to sensitization if inhaled and repeated exposure can result in skin dryness and cracking. In the event of contact with eyes, it is crucial to rinse with plenty of fresh water and seek medical attention immediately. It is advised to use the product only in well-ventilated areas and to avoid smoking or working near open flames, sparks, or other heat sources.

When it comes to storage, it is important to keep glue and all chemical materials out of reach of children and store them in a cool and safe spot to maintain product quality for up to 3 years. Before use, it is recommended to mix 5% hardener (treatment) with the glue, with a maximum of 10% hardener allowed in cold weather (10C-15C) or high humidity (50-75%). It is crucial not to exceed a mixture of 10% hardener with the glue. M.E.K. serves as a thinner for PVC glue, as adding up to 10% MEK to the glue can reactivate it if it hardens. Glue mixed with hardener can be kept for up to 6 hours.

When applying the glue, it is advised to use a small painting brush to apply 1-3 layers of glue on both material surfaces, waiting 5 minutes between applications to allow the glue to dry before attaching the two pieces of material together. Once the patch has been applied, it is recommended to work from the center out with an object such as a teaspoon to force out any air bubbles, and then apply pressure to the repaired area for a minimum of 24 hours. The glue should be allowed to cure for 48 hours before use.

PVC glue may be used as a one-part solution, but for better results, it is recommended to use a two-part glue (glue and hardener) to ensure the overall quality of the repair and extend the bonding's lifetime. For repairs related to air leaks, it is recommended to use a two-part glue. Glue and hardener sealed in bottles can be kept for up to 3 years.

Instructions for applying the glue are as follows: 1-2 layers on a new fabric surface, 2-3 layers on an old fabric surface, 3-4 layers on a wood or plywood surface, and 2-3 layers on parts or aluminum surface. It is crucial to only mix the necessary amount of glue for the repair, seal the bottle immediately, and store it in a cool area for future use. If the hardener turns to crystals or becomes sticky, it is no longer usable. Methyl Hydrate, Acetone, or M.E.K. can be used to clean the area that needs to be repaired.
