Repair Station Notes
We have tested these repair patches on a range of fabrics (drybags, tent ground sheets, breathable waterproofs anything really). The repaired products have been put through washing machines, used in high abrasion areas and they work a treat.
The patches are as easy as using cellotape - as long as the surface is clean and dry (a fleece sleeve works great!) just take the back cover off and apply pressure over it.
Leave it for 5-10 mins, just enought time to make a brew or play a game of tag and then it should be stuck enough to carry on. After 30 mins to an hour it will be well stuck on.
Although this gives a very durable repair, you may also want to consider using our Repair Station Service. We can apply a more permanent heat sealed patch at a low cost.
