Aqua-Stick New Formula 30 minute Aqua Epoxy Repair Stick Instructions.

  • For best results. clean and roughen bond area prior to application.

  • Cut off required amount of Aqua-Stick©.

  • To mix; knead with fingers to a uniform colour.

  • Apply to surface to be repaired (within two minutes of mixing). The mixed epoxy does not exhibit a high bond strength at this point, but appears to be merely lying on the surface. Force into any cracks or holes to be filed and clean off excess material.

  • When applying to a damp, wet or a slowly leaking area work the material forcefully into the surface and apply pressure until adhesion begins to take affect.

  • For a smooth appearance of the cured compound. Hand rub with water or a damp cloth prior to hardening.

  • Remove excess material before hardening begins.

  • After 20-30 minutes the epoxy will harden and form a tenacious bond

  • After just 60 minutes, the item can be either put back into service or sanded down to a smooth finish, painted, re-gripped (depending on the damage location) and then your
    board has a permanent repair.

  • Aqua-Stick© is completely impervious to water and can be used as a substantial part of most permanent repairs to Windsurfing Boards, Kite Boards, Surfboards etc.

Aqua Patch© The UV-curing glass fibre reinforced repair mat

The board must be sound, dry and free from contamination such as sea water, dust, oil, grease, paints etc. and should be roughened to provide mechanical key, using a suitable abrasive paper for the substrate.

 

Prepare your Aqua-Patch out of any direct daylight..!

Aqua-Patch does not require any mixing but it may need to be cut to size and shape, which can be done using a pair of scissors. Cut away the seal along three edges of the pack to gain access to the Patch, which with its release films still attached to each side, can then be removed ready for cutting and immediate application.
NOTE:
Aqua-Patch will start to cure (go hard) with any exposure to UV. UV is present in ordinary cloudy daylight conditions so open, cut and prepare your Aqua-Patch out of direct daylight, sunny or otherwise.  Replace any unused Aqua-Patch in the UV protective pouch for future use.

Remove the matt release film from the Patch, and press the Patch firmly into position, ensuring that full contact with the prepared substrate is achieved. Tools such as small wooden decorating rollers or craft moulding tools will assist with this, but their use is not essential. Once the Patch is firmly in place the second, Gloss, release film can be removed and discarded. In overlap/wrap-around applications it will be necessary to remove the second release film before the overlap is made.
Aqua-Patch© must be cured by exposure to UV light, which can be provided by either natural daylight or UV lamps. Once cured, Aqua-Patch© can be left in place for days, weeks or even months, until you want to remove it and undertake a permanent professional or DIY repair.

NOTE: Aqua-Patch will start to cure (go hard) with any exposure to UV. UV is present in ordinary cloudy daylight conditions so open, cut and prepare your Aqua-Patch out of direct daylight, sunny or otherwise. Replace any unused Aqua-Patch in the UV protective pouch for future use.

 

Aqua-Patch can be easily removed by levering it off with a sharp chisel or similar implement. Once removed, you will find the Aqua-Patch has had no effect whatsoever on the original material. You can then undertake a more permanent professional or DIY repair.
