The Instant Field Repair Kit uses glue dots to seal off punctures and adhesive patches to place over the dots for protection and a cleaner final look and feel. This is a key point about all pad repairs: it’s the glue that does the actual sealing, not the patch. The patch is for protecting the adhesive for a longer lasting seal and to improve the final look and feel with a fabric layer. Many of the self-repairs that we redo fail because not enough adhesive was used, or it was improperly applied. Watch a how-to video, click here.
