Wash the damaged area with fresh water and let dry completely.

Cut the patch with rounded corners to prevent it lifting and allowing at least 2cm border to clear around the damage area.

Easiest to apply the patch on flat and smooth surface.

Remove an edge of the backing paper and start to apply patch while pulling the backing paper away and smoothing out the patch at the same time.

If any creases,folds or bubbles occur, pull the patch back and reapply.

Apply a patch to both sides of the damage.

For a more permanent repair, stitch the perimeter of the patches with V69 or V92 uv resistant thread.
