  • Instructions for Use

     

    The patches supplied in this kit will provide a temporary water resistant repair for GORE-TEX® fabric products.

    • Patches should be kept in sealed plastic bag until used.

    • Area to be repaired must be clean and dry.

    • Patch will not adhere effectively to loose debris, grease or oil.

    • Patch should overlap tear by at least 1/2" in all directions.

    • Remove release paper from back of patch. Lay GORE® product on a smooth flat surface and apply patch using finger pressure (adhesive side down). Rub patch surface in a circular motion from the center out covering the entire patch area.

    • Product can be used immediately; however, the adhesive will continue to strengthen over the next 12 to 24 hours.

    • The durability of the patch can be enhanced by applying heat and moderate pressure. Use a clean iron and set to medium heat. Press with moderate pressure in a circular motion for 30 seconds.

    For permanent repair, W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. can provide the name and phone number of a certified repair facility. If you have any questions or would like more information, please call 800-431-GORE.

  • Tips & Testimonials

    "I have one patch that's lasted over five years of three-season abuse on a G-tex jacket. This works." -Asamov, Spokane, WA

    "This stuff is almost miraculous. You can cut it to any shape you need, and it will stay stuck for as long as you need it, even when it gets soaking wet. I've used it on both torn clothing and partially melted gloves (yes, I got them too close to the fire), and it has never let me down." -C.J. Udd Falls Church, VA

  • Boot Sole Tip

    Boot Sole Tip

    TRUE OR FALSE? Campfires cause boot sole delaminations? True. Sitting at the campfire with your feet towards the fire may make you comfortably warm, but your boot soles could be close to melting. This can easily cause failure of the sole’s glue bond. If your boot soles are peeling, use Freesole® Urethane Adhesive for a permanent fix.
