Can I repair my REEF Mat?Updated 7 days ago

Yes, you can repair your REEF Mat. Minor cuts and holes are no match for the patch kit that came with your mat.

Need a replacement? Grab a glue and patch kit on our website or pick up vinyl repair glue at any local hardware store. Our go-to recommendation is HH-66 Vinyl Cement, available on Amazon or at most hardware and hobby shops.

Here's how to get your mat back in action:

  1. Clean the area. Thoroughly clean both the patch and the puncture area with acetone. Repeat three times for best results.
  2. Apply three layers of glue. Using a brush, apply a thin, even layer of glue to both the patch and the repair area. Let each layer dry for three minutes before applying the next.
  3. Press and seal. After the third application, wait three minutes then firmly press the patch onto the repair area. Use a spoon or similar tool to apply even pressure from the center outward. Wipe away any excess glue with acetone.
  4. Let it set. Give the patch a full 24 hours to dry before inflating. All good things take time.

Take care of it today and your mat will be ready for every adventure ahead.
