4. Setup and Preparation

1. Ensure the damaged area of the liner is clean and free from algae, dirt, or debris. For best results, gently scrub the area if possible.
2. Cut a repair patch from the provided foil strips. The patch should be approximately 5 cm larger than the damaged area on all sides to ensure adequate coverage and adhesion.
3. Gather necessary safety equipment, including protective gloves and eye protection, as indicated in the safety warnings.

5. Operating Instructions (Application)

5.1 Underwater Application

1. Apply a thin, even layer of the adhesive to one side of the prepared repair patch.
2. Carefully position the patch over the damaged area of the liner while underwater.
3. Press the patch firmly against the liner for several seconds to ensure good contact and adhesion.

5.2 Dry Surface Application

1. Apply a thin, even layer of the adhesive to one side of the prepared repair patch.
2. Allow the adhesive to air dry for a short period until it becomes tacky (refer to adhesive instructions for specific drying times if available).
3. Carefully position the patch over the damaged area of the liner.
4. Press the patch firmly against the liner for several seconds to ensure good contact and adhesion.

5.3 Curing Time

After application, the adhesive will be fully cured and the repair will be fully load-bearing after approximately 2 hours.

6. Maintenance

Store any unused adhesive and foil strips in their original packaging in a cool, dry, and locked-up place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Ensure the adhesive tube is tightly sealed after use to prevent drying.

7. Troubleshooting

• Patch not adhering: Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dry (for dry application) before applying the adhesive. Re-clean the area and apply a new patch.
• Leak persists: The patch may not be large enough to cover the entire damaged area, or the edges may not be fully sealed. Ensure the patch extends at least 5 cm beyond the damage. Consider applying a second, larger patch if necessary.
• Adhesive not curing: Ensure sufficient curing time (approximately 2 hours) has passed before stressing the repair. Environmental factors like extreme cold may prolong curing time.
