Description
Dry adhesive tape is a double-sided, heat-activated tape that allows you to quickly install new seals, boots, or other items to your drysuit.
How It Works:
1. Thoroughly clean and prepare the bonding area of the suit.
2. Cut your tape to the desired length.
3. Peel off one side of the dry adhesive tape.
4. Position the tape on the drysuit, with the peeled side facing down, leaving the side that still has backing facing up.
5. Slowly apply heat to the tape, using an iron, heat gun, or hair dryer. Take your time!
6. Smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles in the tape.
7. Slowly remove the tape backing. You can now affix another piece of the suit to the tape.
a. We recommend using a heat gun or hair dryer instead of an iron
when fusing two pieces together to avoid potentially damaging
the suit.
IMPORTANT Note:
While dry adhesive tape will adhere to latex and some plastics, it will NOT adhere to neoprene, trilaminate, or any other cloth material without first adding a urethane base layer (we recommend GEAR AID Contact Cement).
To do this, first completely cover the bonding location (suit side) with the Contact Cement. Allow this base layer to dry completely, which usually takes about 30 minutes. Once dry, the adhesive tape will adhere securely to the urethane layer on the suit. Remember Clean and clean again! This means ALL surfaces and both sides of the tape.
If you ever have any questions, please call our drysuit repair team and we will be more than happy to assist.

~ Dive Right In Scuba
If that happened, you either used it on the wrong material, or didn't follow the directions properly. You have to clean all surfaces, even both sides of the tape with MEK or Acetone. If
you didn't do all of that, or used something differently, it wouldn't work. This product works flawless when used properly. Feel free to call me so we can see where the install
went wrong. ~ 815-267-8400
