Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the proper surface preparation for using this SUP repair glue?

For a permanent bond, surfaces must be clean, dry, and roughened. Clean the area with isopropyl alcohol to remove contaminants, then lightly sand the surface to create a mechanical key for the adhesive. This step is crucial for optimal adhesion.

How long does the repair need to cure before the SUP can be used?

While handling strength is achieved in 1-2 hours, we recommend a full cure of 24-48 hours at room temperature (23°C/73°F) before subjecting the repair to full inflation pressure or water immersion. Lower temperatures will extend cure time.

Is this glue suitable for all types of inflatable paddle boards?

Yes, our SUP repair glue is specifically formulated for the most common materials: drop-stitch PVC, reinforced PVC, and PU. We recommend testing on a small, inconspicuous area for unconventional or coated materials.

Can this adhesive be used for other marine products?

Absolutely. It is highly effective for inflatable boats, kayaks, dry bags, airbeds, tents, and any product made from PVC or PU fabric requiring a flexible, waterproof bond.

What is the shelf life, and how should I store the product?

The shelf life is 18 months from the date of manufacture when stored in its original, unopened container in a cool, dry place (ideally between 10°C and 25°C). Always replace the cap tightly after use.

Do you offer private label or bulk packaging options?

Yes. We work extensively with OEMs and distributors to provide custom private labeling and a range of bulk packaging options, from 1-liter tins to 20-liter drums, to meet your supply chain needs.
