Repair 3 - Patching
Insert one patch into the largest hole and flatten out, this will aid in collecting any glue which may go through the hole(s). Use the sandpaper to rough the surfaces around the hole (This aids in adhering the patch to this area). Clean off any excess debris from around the patch area.

Repair 4 - Glue
Use the brush to spread a thin coating of glue onto the entire uncoated (not shiny) side of the patch and around the patch area. Glue should be applied as close to the edge of the patch as possible.
NOTE: Krazy glue® (supplied by user) can be used to glue the patch as well. Be careful to not lay a brush loaded with glue on other surfaces of the tent.

Repair 5 - Seal the Patch
Press the patch down and hold in place for 3-5 minutes to ensure a tight seal, paying special attention to the edges of the patch.
NOTE: More complicated patches (replacing inflation valves, patching tubes, patching areas larger than the included swatch, etc.) should be left up to an EMS Innovations trained employee.
