Directions
STEP 1. When applying underwater, apply to a smooth non-textured vinyl surface. Almost all pool liners are a good surface. Clean and scrub area larger than where patch is going to be applied to. Do not apply to an uncleaned area. Do not foul patch in a scummy water application. If patch is partially above the water line, clean dry area with alcohol prep pads using the dry application instructions. IT IS IMPORTANT TO SQUEEGEE THE WATER OUT FROM BETWEEN THE PATCH AND THE VINYL.
STEP 2. Cut patch to size with scissors allowing for the patch size to extend 1 inch beyond all edges of the tear. Trim square corners into rounded corners.
STEP 3. Do not foul the patch with your fingers, Carefully peel back ½ inch of paper liner.
STEP 4. Position the patch with the paper liner still on it underwater and anchor exposed ½ inch edge allowing the patch to extend 1 inch beyond all edges of the tear.
STEP 5. Slowly peel back liner while carefully rubbing down with your fingers. DO NOT ALLOW THE PATCH TO WRINKLE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO SQUEEGEE THE WATER OUT FROM BETWEEN THE PATCH AND THE VINYL.
STEP 6. Use a firm squeegee to rub from center of patch outward in all directions firmly. Do not pick at the patch. Full adhesion requires 24 hours.
