Safety Information

Safety Instructions for Repair Tapes (Dacron, Grip Kit, Kevlar, Kite Repair, Mylar, Spinnaker)
Safety Usage Guidelines
Proper Usage
Use repair tapes exclusively for fixing damage to appropriate materials, such as sails, kites, masts, booms, and other sailing accessories, in accordance with their intended purpose.
Always ensure that the repair tape is properly adhered to the surface and that the edges are well-secured to prevent peeling.
Before applying the tape, clean the surface to which it will be applied, removing dust, dirt, sand, and moisture to ensure maximum adhesion.
Use repair tapes that are suitable for the material being repaired (e.g., Kevlar tape for strong materials, Mylar/Dacron tape for light sail fabrics).
Safety During Use
Use repair tapes with care to avoid damaging the surface or material you're working on.
When using tape for kite or spinnaker repairs, ensure that the surface is properly stretched so the tape adheres correctly.
Avoid using repair tapes in areas exposed to high stress or extreme conditions if the repair is not strong or durable enough.
Regular Inspection Before Use
Technical Condition Check
Before use, make sure the tape is not damaged, dry, or cracked. Pay attention to any signs of material wear that may affect its functionality.
Check if the adhesive on the tape is weakened or contaminated, which may prevent it from sticking properly.
Ensure that the tape is of the correct width and length relative to the damage being repaired. Use a bit more tape than the size of the damage to increase safety and minimize the risk of peeling.
Testing
After applying the repair tape, check its effectiveness by gently pressing on it to ensure it is properly adhered and holding to the surface.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning
Before applying the repair tape, always clean the surface to which it will be applied. Use a soft cloth to remove contaminants, dust, dirt, and moisture.
After the repair, if the tape comes into contact with water or moisture, make sure it is dry to prevent peeling.
Maintenance
Store repair tapes in a dry place, away from high temperatures, UV radiation, or excessive moisture, to prevent material damage.
Always check the condition of the repair after each use to ensure the tape is still in good condition.
Emergency Situations
Tape Damage
If the repair tape is damaged or begins to peel off, replace it immediately to ensure the repair remains durable and effective.
If the repair is insufficient to provide safety or durability, consider professional repair or replacing the damaged element.
Improper Usage
Do not use repair tape on surfaces that will be exposed to high forces unless recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not use repair tape on materials requiring permanent, professional repair or replacement.
Contact in Case of Issues
If you notice a manufacturing defect or damage to the repair tape, contact the manufacturer or the point of purchase to report the issue and receive assistance. Do not modify the tape yourself, as it may affect its safety and functionality.
