TEAR-AID material is made from an exceptionally tough, matt finish, abrasion resistant, elastomer that resists puncture and tearing. Combined with an aggressive adhesive formulated for high bond strength to a variety of surfaces.
TEAR-AID's unique composition stretches and recovers absorbing the force that causes ordinary repair products to tear off. Tear-Aid B can even be applied under-water!
Instructions can be found and printed HERE for making an emergency repair to a PVC inflatable / structure and HERE for making an emergency repair to a hypalon or rubber inflatable / structure.
All Tear Aid patches are supplied in a resealable bag.
