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:
- Clean the area. Thoroughly clean both the patch and the puncture area with acetone. Repeat three times for best results.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
