Sea Eagle RazorLite Kayaks (393RL RazorLite, 473RL RazorLite) - Manual (Page 12)

Repair Kit
All Sea Eagles come
standard with a repair
kit which includes PVC
patches and PVC glue.
Repair kits also include
a recessed valve
adapter and a valve
wrench.
PVC Based Glue
To patch your Sea
Eagle, use an adhesive
for PVC boats.
Plumber’s cement,
epoxy and Gorilla Glue
will not work. If you are
out of glue, try a Swim-
ming Pool supply store.
Pinholes
Deflate your boat and
thoroughly clean and
dry the area that is to
be repaired. For small
punctures less than
1/8” apply a small drop
of glue and allow 24
hours to cure.
For immediate use
allow 30 minutes to dry
and then inflate the
compartment with the
repair only 3/4 full and
if necessary make a
more permanent repair
later.
Patching
The most common re-
pairs are a puncture or
small cut. A penny size
patch is sufficient for re-
pairs of this type.
Trace the outline of a
penny on the patch ma-
terial and cut using
scissors. Trace the out-
line of the penny on the
boat. Coat the patch
and boat with the repair
kit glue.
Wait about 5 minutes or
until the surface of the
glue hazes over then
apply the patch. Do not
apply wet glue to wet
glue.
If you have access to
electricity, heat the glue
with a hair dryer then
apply the patch. This
method produces the
best results. Mate the
patch to the boat and
smooth down until the
patch adheres. Do not
inflate, allow at least 24
hours to cure before in-
flating.
