Gear Aid Aquaseal FD Repair Kit

Yes, the Aquaseal FD adhesive is specifically designed for inflatables. It creates a flexible, water-tight bond that holds up well against the pressure and movement of inflatable kayaks.

Absolutely. The thermoset urethane adhesive cures into a durable rubber that bends and flexes with your gear, preventing it from cracking or peeling when the fabric moves.

This kit is highly versatile and works on neoprene, rubber, nylon, GORE-TEX, canvas, and vinyl/PVC. It is an excellent all-purpose solution for waders, drysuits, and various outdoor gear.

While the adhesive sets relatively quickly, it typically requires 8 to 12 hours to fully cure. For the best results, we recommend letting your repair sit overnight before putting it back into service.

The two 3-inch patches provide an instant, temporary fix or reinforcement for larger tears. You can use them on their own for a quick field repair or apply them over the adhesive for extra structural support.

The adhesive dries clear, so it is generally subtle. However, depending on the fabric color and texture, you may notice a slight sheen or outline where the adhesive was applied.
