Type A - Pressure Sensitive Adhesive – All Purpose
Type B – Pressure Sensitive Adhesive – Vinyl & PVC ONLY
Instructions
- Please follow these instructions very carefully.
- Measure the damaged area and cut (with scissors) the strip to size (allowing at least 2.5cm on each side of the damage), slightly rounding off the corners. **If damage is long and wide and extensive, make sure you increase the allowance accordingly.
- Clean the damaged area thoroughly with the Romed Alcohol Preps (included with the product).
- Allow the area to dry completely (if possible) before commencing the repair.
- Remove a little of the backing paper from one end and stick that end down on the surface (**at least 2.5cm from the start of the damage).
- Slowly remove the backing paper while firmly pressing on the Tear Aid all the way to the end. Ensure that any air bubbles trapped between the Tear Aid and the surface you’re repairing are completely removed. A silicone roller is ideal for the job if you have one.
- Finally, rub over the entire area again very firmly (ensuring all air bubbles have been removed) and allow at least 1 hour to set (Type A) or 24 hours to set (Type B).
